The nature park municipality of Hollenstein an der Ybbs is the main village of the Lower Austrian Eisenwurzen Nature Park and looks back on a long development: iron, wood and water helped the region to cultural bloom early on.

The contrasting landscape of the nature parks invites you to let your soul dangle, especially sporty guests will find a wide range of offers:

Mountain bikers will find 296 km of well-signposted routes, and the region also offers an extensive network of hiking trails for all abilities, while skiers will also get their money's worth in the nearby Königsberg ski resort.

Particular highlight:
the bike park at the foot of the Königsberg

Other special features of the region:

  • the river bath
  • the herb garden with Kneipp facility
  • the rock crib and
  • the time travel carriage, a contemporary witness of over 110 years of transport of people and goods.
