Granite Adventure World

Welcome to the stone nature trail/granite nature trail of the cultural association Erlebniswelt Granit.

A wide range of information on the subject of stone.

The natural stone nature trail, the Hammerhütte as a small museum including film and craft demonstrations, extraordinary events in the Arena Granit natural amphitheater, as well as wonderful hiking opportunities through the Mühlviertel granite highlands round off the experience. Guided tours are offered all year round to introduce you to the history of the granite region and Austrian geology.

A unique feature is its orientation as a petrological nature trail based on a geological structure, which leads through all regions of Austria from north to south. The educational trail focuses on granites from the granite highlands (Mühlviertel, Waldviertel, Sauwald) and the EUREGIO Bohemian Forest/Bavarian Forest as well as natural stones from all over Austria, such as marble, limestone, conglomerate, sandstone and many more.

International granite varieties:
In addition, 50 international granite varieties are presented, which impress with a special variety of colors, structures and textures. Native deciduous trees also complement the educational offer. Various worksheets (including solutions) and group activities for schoolchildren and clubs make the Granite Adventure World an attractive excursion destination.

Guided tours offered all year round:

In the guided tours offered all year round, since 2011 also with audio guides (here the information comes from the 'tape' and is listened to via headphones), you will be introduced to the history of the granite region and Austrian rock science. A rest area at the intersection of the nature trail with the "Feldbahn" and "Granitweg" hiking trails, as well as a rest area on the ' Donausteig' invite you to linger. The granite play castle "Burg Plekhingstein", built from large granite blocks and boulders with corridors, caves and a castle chamber, is enthroned here as an attraction for the youngest visitors.
