Weitersfeld

Good energies: The market town of Weitersfeld lies above the Manhartsberg, right on the border with the Weinviertel. Weitersfeld is the largest municipality in the Horn district in terms of area. The municipal area includes the cadastral communities of Weitersfeld, Fronsburg, Heinrichs- and Nonnersdorf, Oberfladnitz and Oberhöflein, Ober- and Untermixnitz as well as Prutzendorf, Rassingdorf, Sallapulka and Starrein.

The parish and settlement are the oldest in the Waldviertel. The first documentary mention dates back to 1135. Castles and churches worth seeing still bear witness to this long history. The place name is derived from the original name "Widderfeld". The golden horned ram in the coat of arms is a reminder of this to this day.

For longer stays - such as vacations with the whole family or a Waldviertel vacation for two - comfortable guesthouses and vacation apartments are available.
