New observation tower in St. Oswald: A paradise for hikers!

St. Oswald in the southern Waldviertel recently experienced a significant innovation: a breathtaking observation tower, which is part of the popular “Lebensweg” hiking trail network. This initiative is part of a project by the LEADER region Südliches Waldviertel-Nibelungengau, which aims to improve the landscape and leisure opportunities in the region. The trail, which runs approximately 275 kilometers through 13 stages, offers hikers the opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding area. This long-awaited observation tower was built using robust steel construction and is intended not only to provide a panoramic view of the surrounding area, but also to be a place for reflection, as has been reported.

“Lower Austria is a true hiking and cycling paradise for young and old,” emphasizes State Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner and emphasizes the importance of this investment. Mayor Rosemarie Kloimüller adds that the measure addresses different target groups, which strengthens the regional leisure offerings. The support from ecoplus regional funding also shows the commitment to business-related and tourism infrastructure in order to secure jobs and regional added value.
