Details for: Hundertwasserweg long - Zwettl

Brief description

Hiking in the footsteps of the artist: The hiker encounters impressive rock formations and old mills. A detour leads to the Hahnsäge, which Friedensreich Hundertwasser bought in the 1960s and where he established a nature-close refuge that he repeatedly inhabited until his death in 2000. Even today, the locals like to share stories about him. In 1994, the Hundertwasser Fountain was created at the main square of Zwettl, and the village museum in Roiten was designed by the artist in 1989.
