Waidhofen an der Thaya lies along the Thaya River, amid the gently rolling forests, fields and pond country of the Waldviertel in northern Lower Austria. The district town stands near the Czech border, in a region whose granite bedrock has shaped both its soils and building traditions. Its compact historic centre retains sections of the medieval town wall, and the parish church of St Margaret remains a defining landmark. Around the town, small farms and managed woodlands give the landscape a distinctly inland character, far from Austria’s Alpine routes.
