Description: There are 44 erratic stones made of Waldviertel granite along the Kraftwanderweg. The path is lined with the menhir, the moonstone, the pyramid guardian and the dolmen, also called stone table. A labyrinth and the pyramid also invite you to recharge your batteries.
A laid out Venus flower is a symbol and key to healing, transforming and beneficial forces that emanate from the lively interaction of the sun, Venus and our mother earth. The power of Venus has been reflected on love, beauty and sensuality since ancient times. In places where this wonderful symbol Venus Flower is displayed, the healing Venusian powers shine far beyond the place.
A floating lounger directly under a very old pear tree invites you to unwind.
Directions: The path starts directly at the spa and leads up the hill behind the hotels Vier Jahreszeiten, Kowald and Leitner. There is a direct, steeper serpentine access and a flat access suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. The path is illuminated and is therefore also popular for an evening walk.

Equipment: Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.

Tips when reporting an emergency – Answer these six WH questions: What happened? How many people are injured? Where did the accident happen (are there GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting the incident (callback number)? When did the accident happen? What is the weather like at the site of the incident?
Tips: Take enough time - if you only want to go through quickly, you will hardly feel the different vibrations and the forces of the stones. Each of the 44 erratic blocks, all made of Waldviertel granite, has been selected from hundreds of others for its intended location because of its special vibration. There is certainly "his" stone for every visitor. Look for yours! Look closely at each stone, grab it, lean on its various sides, and, if possible, sit on it. When you find it, linger with it a little longer. You will soon feel how good it does you.
