A nice, shady spot with seating. It's even possible to go around it, but beware: in shorts, it can definitely have a "circulation-boosting" effect, thanks to the nettles :)

Avoid this place! The owner is very bumptious and not friendly to cyclists. We rode to the place only to be denied a table because he claimed they were full, while almost all of the tables on the terrace were free, only one was taken by other guests. A restaurant owner who cannot make room for two people arriving on bicycles and hungry, does not deserve the trust from the biking community.

Unfortunately, the fish pond is private and you can only see a little from the outside.

The "Nature experience - Hartberger Gmoos" gives insights into the local natural diversity. Europe-wide endangered and therefore protected species such as the blue buffalo, the kingfisher, the red-backed shrike or the greater mouse-eared bat find a home here.
