Hardegg

Hardegg combines the intimacy of Austria’s smallest town with the formidable profile of a hilltop castle in a way that reflects its borderland position in the narrow Thaya valley. The river, known as Dyje on the Czech side, marks the Austrian–Czech frontier here and runs through Thayatal National Park. Hardegg Castle, first documented in the 12th century, rises above the compact historic centre and recalls the settlement’s role in guarding a frontier route. Forested slopes and winding riverbanks give this corner of Lower Austria a notably secluded character. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Lower Austria.
