Reginafelsen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Directly opposite Hardegg Castle, a massive boulder rises out of the forest, called the Reginafelsen. It juts out into the middle of the Fugnitztal with its steep nose. Where the trees reveal the grey rock to the viewer, you can still clearly see the masonry, which is built into the rock face like a swallow's nest.

Don't forget your passport when hiking to the Czech Republic! A place steeped in history that brings back memories of terrible personal fates! We met a man whose family was separated by the border for many years; they only saw each other on occasional visits. Bunkers, customs houses and the remains of the Iron Curtain in Čížov are reminders of a bad past. How nice it is that people from both countries can meet again while hiking in the large shared national park.

The Thayabrücke Hardegg-Čížov is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. The Iron Curtain used to run here.
