Ottenschlag
Arrive, switch off, recharge: The market town of Ottenschlag in the Zwettl district lies at a lofty 850 meters above sea level - in the midst of lush green, densely wooded hills. The municipality includes the villages of Bernreith, Endlas, Jungschlag, Neuhof, Oedwinkel, Ottenschlag and Reith.
Hikers, cyclists and horse riders can discover the Waldviertel countryside here on particularly idyllic routes and paths. The tranquil ponds attract both passionate fishermen and relaxed swimmers to their enchanting banks. This makes a family vacation just as much fun as a fresh air excursion - or a dreamy break for two.
