Moorbad Harbach

Arrive and breathe a sigh of relief: the xunde Waldviertel spa community of Moorbad Harbach lies in the picturesque hilly valley between Nebelstein and Mandelstein. It belongs to the district of Gmünd and comprises the villages of Harbach, Hirschenwies and Lauterbach as well as Maißen, Schwarzau and Wultschau. Awarded the hiking quality seal of the Austrian Hiking Villages, Moorbad Harbach is criss-crossed by a hiking trail network of around 100 kilometers. The well-known health and rehabilitation center in the village combines the highest level of medical expertise with the feel-good factor of a 4-star hotel.

Good to know: Due to its location along the border with the Czech Republic, the municipality is involved in cross-border activities. Workshops and events support a lively creative exchange and good international neighborly relations. This is also commemorated by the Milestone of Peace: the monument was erected in 2010 as a sign of friendship and cooperation between the border communities of Moorbad Harbach and Horni Stropnice.
