The impressive sculpture trail in Paudorf can also be cycled.For those interested in culture, a detour to Göttweig Abbey or a visit to the Hellerhof in Paudorf is worthwhile, where there is a museum about the composer Wilhelm Kinzl and his opera “Der Evangelimann.” A show garden can also be visited at the Hellerhof.
