Lovely place, with 19th century vibe. Tickets are also valid for the pools, but we decided to stay near the river in the end. Good food.

My plan was to take a dip in the water here. Which turned out to be forbidden on this side of the pond. There is a camping site with a beach just across the pond though.

Here a myriad of stones (stoa) were brought in by hand to create a place and protect it from the waves of the lake. When fishing, the place is reserved for the fishermen. If you want to watch, please ask!

At the beginning of the 30s of the last century, the lido was built in an idyllic location in the Thaya curve around Drosendorf and is preserved in its originality with a lot of love and effort. The old tradition of summer retreat can still be lived here in the area with the old wooden pavilion on the natural river. You can relax on the lawn under the large, shady trees. The buffet provides regional and traditional products for the physical well-being. From June to September the average temperature of the brown Thaya is 22 degrees, in midsummer it rises to about 24 degrees. https://www.schloss-drosendorf.at/angebote/strandbad/ https://www.drosendorf.at/Strandbad_Kneippbad_Drosendorf (opening times, fees)
