Often it is the little things in life that make us happy, like enjoying nature, spending time with loved ones, or treating yourself to a good meal. At the Wheel of Fortune, you spin your saying of the day, and at the "Carefree" station, you learn how to get rid of your worries.

Route description My route to happiness

The themed route starts at the Franz Himmer Congress and Event Center and leads through our beautiful Waldviertel landscape. About one third of the way, you can take a small detour to the "Stone Woman", a legendary granite block. There you also have the opportunity to grill. A nice picnic area with a grill station and a covered hut invites you to a cozy snack.

Back on the happiness route, you can look for 10 well-hidden horseshoes. Can you find them all?

The route offers entertainment and exercise equally for young and old!

The happiness route leads back through the village of Harbach to the starting point. A short visit to the parish church of Harbach is worthwhile!
