Nordwald Nature Park

Dense coniferous forests, still ponds, hill moor landscapes and meadows: the landscape on the western edge of the Waldviertel highlands is reminiscent of Scandinavia.

High moors, coniferous forests, meadows - almost like in the far north

An extensive forest area on the western edge of the Waldviertel highlands between Bad Großpertholz and Karlstift is the home of this nature park with a Nordic-Scandinavian character. The dense coniferous forests are broken up by island-like farmland and meadows, ponds and raised bogs. In between there are always bizarre rock formations. The imposing lookout tower at Schwarzenberg offers a magnificent view over this scenery. It can also be hot in the Nordwald in summer. The Stierhüblteich pond near Karlstift offers pleasant cooling.
