Kamp

Highlight • River

The Kamp is a river with a length of 153 kilometers, the longest river in the Waldviertel. The name Kamp is of Celtic origin and goes back to the appropriate adjective kamb ("crooked") and is one of the oldest names in the region. Not only the main river bears the name Kamp, but also some of its tributaries have Kamp in their name.

Crucifixion Group

Highlight • Religious Site

Shortly before the highest point with the crucifixion group is reached, it unites with the calvary complex of Schönberg am Kamp and Stiefern. The entire Kalvarienberg has been restored in an exemplary manner today. The various patrons are clearly noted. It is quite remarkable that on the right-hand side in front of the crucifixion group a considerable pile of penitential stones has accumulated, which probably came from the "poor penitents" who dragged them up the mountain.

Parish Church of Stiefern – St. John the Baptist

Highlight • Religious Site

The first reliable mention of Stiefs falls on AD 902/903. As a result, Stiefern (Stivinn, Stiuen) is the earliest named place not only in the Kamptal, but also in the Waldviertel. The Stiefingen Church is consecrated to St. John the Baptist, which could be a reminiscence of the former baptism of the Slavs. An historical analysis of the building history has shown that today's church building in Stiefern was built before or around 1150.
