Opposite the Catholic church is the Protestant bell tower. During the Reformation, Walbersdorf was a Protestant stronghold in Burgenland. After the Edict of Toleration in 1781, when Protestant Christians were again allowed to publicly profess their faith, a dispute arose over whether the bells of the Catholic church should be rung at Protestant funerals. It is said that the issue was also about money, as was the possibility of a fee being paid for the ringing. The people of Walbersdorf could not agree. So, in 1800, the Protestants finally built their own bell tower, because no one should embark on their final journey without hearing the sound of the bells. They built it as a small, self-assured symbol directly opposite the local Catholic church. Shortly after its construction, the tower began to lean. Today, it is more crooked than the Tower of Pisa, yet it still doesn't fall over. (https://evang.at/der-schiefe-turm-von-walbersdorf/)

The Forchtenstein bathing reservoir is fed by the Haidbach. It is located in the middle of "Paradise", as the side valley of the Rosalien Mountains is called. It is 15,000 m2 in size and scores points for its natural shade. Oases of peace and water fun are the best ways to describe the area. It is particularly popular with families as it has very shallow access. A diving tower and a water slide, beach volleyball court and playground for the little ones provide variety. On the sun terrace with a wonderful view of the lake, the canteen spoils you with one or two delicacies. Whether you are a bather, hiker, cyclist or walker - a visit is always worthwhile.

Excellent water quality, a shady location and lots of nature are the best-known features of the Forchtenstein reservoir, which is fed by the Haidbach. Families with children get their money's worth here! 15,000 m² of water surface invite you to cool off and relax. The reservoir is very shallow at the beginning, so that it is also suitable for families with small children. A diving tower and a 50m long water slide ensure pure water fun as well as swimming. A children's playground, which is well equipped, a table tennis table and 2 beach volleyball courts complete the offer. Last but not least, due to the idyllic location at the edge of the forest, there is enough natural shade and stressed parents can find a little time and leisure here to relax and unwind. The lake buffet with a terrace overlooking the lake spoils its guests with all kinds of seasonal delicacies and invites you to chill out. [burgenland.info]
