Don't be put off by the dark brown water of the natural bathing pond, as the local population has always said that the boggy water has healing properties. The bathing pond is fed with water directly from the Schrems high moor. [schrems.at]

The Himmelsleiter is a viewing platform in the Hochmoor Nature Park in Schrems, which offers a perfect panoramic view of the moor landscape. The wooden construction consists of 58 spruce trunks arranged in pairs, each of which is 19.4 m long. Between these trunks, the 108-step steel staircase with several intermediate floors leads up to the 33 m long platform at a height of approx. 18.4 m. Steel tension rods and wooden pressure bars between the trunks as well as a steel substructure give the Himmelsleiter stability. Freely accessible from April to October. [waldviertel.at]
