Groß Gerungs

The municipality of Groß Gerungs in the Zwettl district is located in the idyllic Waldviertel highlands. The extensive municipal area unites 41 villages - such as Ober Rosenauerwald and Ober Neustift as well as Griesbach and Thail. The beautiful landscape is made accessible by countless well-marked paths and routes. The "Kraftarena" with its five mystical places of power is particularly "hikeable". And another tip for train fans of all ages: the nostalgic Waldviertel Railway runs between Groß Gerungs and Gmünd, which is particularly scenic.

Groß Gerungs: recharge your batteries in the power arena

The Groß Gerungs power arena comprises five power spots, which have been scientifically proven to have strong energy lines: The Kierlingstein, the sacrificial stone, the hermitage, the globe and the stone pyramid can be visited freely at any time or explored with an expert guide.

Old crafts & friendly alpacas: the most beautiful excursion destinations in Groß Gerungs

A great experience for animal lovers is the Gergely family's loving alpaca farm, which welcomes visits and joint hikes. FAB Keramik's craft workshops also invite visitors to take part in tours and workshops. And in summer? The organic outdoor pool is of course a great attraction: with a chemical-free main pool, wide slide, solar-heated children's pool and diving tower.
