Amethyst World Maissau: Large expansion project for family and nature!

The Amethyst World in Maissau, located on the border between the wine and forest district, will be extensively expanded in the coming years. This unique adventure center, which houses the largest amethyst deposit in Europe, has established itself as a popular destination for families. With the support of the Ecoplus regional funding will further improve the infrastructure and enrich the offer.

The planned measures include extensions to the garden and flood protection measures. In addition, the parking lot is enlarged and added with additional bicycle parking spaces and greening. A new special exhibition entitled "Crystal skull" is set up, supplemented by a modern shoe washing system, new play equipment and maintenance measures. The governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner emphasized that this project not only contributes to regional value creation, but also supports the vision of the Lower Austrian tourism strategy in the area of "art and cultural experience".

extension of the offer

The Amethyst World currently employs around 24 employees. Investing in the infrastructure and the planned exhibitions, the attractiveness of the location increases significantly. In addition to the "crystal skull" special show already mentioned, a relaunch of the multimedia room and the show tunnel is also sought. The measures are to be implemented by spring 2026.

An important aspect of expansion is the creation of sustainable offers for visitors. The exhibition not only shows the world's largest exposed amethystader, but also a collection of rare minerals and gemstones in the house of gemstones. According to the website of the Amethyst Welt ( amethystwelt.at ), the fascinating exhibition has won numerous supporters, in particular from the online casino industry, the innovative marketing strategies in cooperation with the system.

sustainability in focus

The importance of sustainable tourism development is emphasized in a discussion by experts at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. One focus is on the need to rethink political guidelines and business practices in order to promote sustainable tourism. Sustainable mobility that increases the attractiveness of public transport and lowers CO₂ emissions plays a central role in this. The Discussion underlines the importance of optimizing existing transport systems and the responsible use of natural resources.
