What does a forest look like when human intervention is kept to a minimum? At the Haus der Wildnis in Lunz am See, everything revolves around the Dürrenstein-Lassingtal wilderness area and the Rothwald. The exhibition brings this unique habitat to life through interactive displays. And if you’ve always wanted to know what the world looks like through the eyes of a Ural owl, this is the place for you. The Haus der Wildnis is wheelchair-accessible and ideal for families.
Iron has been an integral part of Ybbsitz for centuries. At FeRRUM – the world of iron, you can learn more about its history. The exhibition explores the importance of iron to the town and offers an insight into this ancient craft. There are also interactive stations where you can try your hand at it yourself.
Fire, water, earth, wood and metal give their name to the Five Elements Museum at Schloss Rothschild in Waidhofen an der Ybbs. The museum tells the story of the town, combining it with a playful approach to learning and interactive experiments. A good reason, then, to visit a castle when it’s raining.
Grey outside, pleasantly warm inside. At theYbbstaler Solebad in Göstling an der Ybbs, it’s easy to while away a rainy day. Whilst clouds hang over the mountains outside, here you can slip into the warm water.
