Program: WILD PLACES on the Bear Trail
In the seemingly familiar Waldviertel, unexpectedly wild natural sites are hidden: roaring river wilderness with small waterfalls, bizarre, moss-covered granite blocks, and natural, ancient forests. Matthias Schickhofer co-invented the Bear Trail and has discovered the most fascinating natural sites for his photo book "Wild Waldviertel." Therefore, he knows the trail particularly well. In 2026, the "photo coach" and nature educator will accompany exclusive photo walks to especially magical natural places. Don't miss out on this!
