Ottenschlag

Arrive, switch off, recharge: The market town of Ottenschlag in the district of Zwettl lies at a lofty 850 meters above sea level - in the midst of lush green, densely wooded hills. The municipal area includes the villages of Bernreith, Endlas, Jungschlag, Neuhof, Oedwinkel, Ottenschlag and Reith.

Hikers, cyclists and horseback riders discover the Waldviertel nature here on particularly idyllic routes and paths. The quiet ponds attract both passionate fishermen and relaxed bathers to their enchanting shores. So the family vacation is just as much fun as the fresh air excursion - or the dreamy time-out for two.
