Description
Frogs, crickets and the sounds of the forest accompany you on the Teiche cycle route. You start in Waidhofen/Thaya at the train station and follow the two top cycle routes Thayarunde-Süd and KTM-Radroute to Windigsteig and Schwarzenau Modlischmühle. From there via Sparbach to Vitis or Kaltenbach, with gourmet cuisine or home-style cooking on the main square. The first bathing pond before Jetzles will cool you down. After Edelprinz, wooded areas, meadows and small farmsteads give you an idea of the beauty of the cultural landscape. The Winkelauerteich then awaits you at Seyfrieds. A little later, Holzteich and Flohteich announce Pfaffenschlag - where the landscape is pure Waldviertel romance. Ponds as resting places for fulfilling moments. You return to Waidhofen/Thaya through the villages of Griesbach, Sarning and Brunn.
