In the water garden, visitors stroll across wooden terraces and marvel at the typical plants and inhabitants of this special habitat, such as sundew, marsh pondweed, cotton grass, frogs, dragonflies and butterflies.

A ride on the cable rafts is fun, while those who prefer a more leisurely pace can choose one of the numerous deckchairs and enjoy nature before heading to one of the 3 daily otter shoots (10.30 am, 1.30 pm and 4.00 pm) .

The café with pond terrace provides refreshments, and souvenirs and gifts can be purchased in the store.

The area of the Schrems high moor nature park was placed under nature protection in 2000 and covers 119 hectares. The total area of the moor complex is 300 ha, making it the largest moor in Lower Austria.

Visitors can explore the nature park on various hiking trails, and the 20 m high viewing platform "Himmelsleiter", the "Prügelsteg" over the open moor area and the moor treading pool are well worth a visit.

The UnterWasserReich is barrier-free, trilingual (E, D, CZ) and also suitable as a bad weather program.
