Lichtenau im Waldviertel

Nature and culture - harmoniously united

In the southern Waldviertel, between the towns of Zwettl and Krems, lies the market town of Lichtenau, consisting of 18 villages, surrounded by a varied cultural landscape. The charming, "wanderable" nature with its river and stream incisions invites you to go hiking and cycling. Many sights as Excursion destinations, numerous leisure facilities and events offer you a wide choice for your vacation or for day trips.

Worth seeing among other things:

The "Caricature Garden Brunn am Wald" in the former castle park, unique in Austria, shows perfect garden architecture, sculptures and objects by numerous Austrian and international artists, fun and caricatures in great harmony. Take a look at this unique "caricature garden" and you will be fascinated!

The museum "Der Bauer als Selbstversorger", the "Künstlergarten" Wietzen (50 stone sculptures) and the "Blumendorf Ebergersch" are also worth a visit.

Our gastronomy offers down-to-earth delicacies as well as international cuisine.
