Wild Animals ...
There are some interesting mammals in the area. Then the rare fringe and barbastelle could be detected. These endangered animals are identifiable by the lack of suitable sleeping quarters. A visitor from South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest is the lynx, its presence could be detected by visual observations and cracks. Along Waldaist and Naarn find the otter, as well as in other natural waters of the mill and forest area, a suitable habitat. The meeting of these animals with humans is often conflicted. Through targeted educational work can be counteracted and an undisturbed development dynamics of wildlife resources will allow. Animals like the raccoon, raccoon dog and golden jackal are not in our home and often problematic because they can upset the balance of the local ecosystem due to lack of natural predators.

In Waldhausen it has once happened that a poacher who was actually sentenced to death, nor could liberate "the head of the terminal". How it happened and what does this have to do with a horrible giant snake tells the Danube announcement.

We are a comfortable, family-run guest house in a central location.

Located in Waldhausener Schlossberg, the inn Reutner is a so-called "gastronomic institution" - a cozy country inn, which is appreciated and visited with the locals whether his adoring hospitality. Traditional, elegant Upper Austrian cuisine is the hallmark of the Gasthof Reutner. The senior and the junior chef cook personally - with a sense of tradition and quality. In the immediate vicinity of the Collegiate Church and the lake area, attracts a newly built conservatory and a lovely garden to stop

When you enter the Gasthof Schauer in Waldhausen im Strudengau, you immediately sense the special atmosphere: the smell of freshly baked Stanitzerln, the clatter of pots and pans from the kitchen and the laughter of Christoph Schauer and Magdalena Buchinger echoes through the house. "It's a real hockn, but we love what we do," says Christoph, as he talks about the painstaking manual labour that goes into every dish. The inn has been part of the family since 1892 and today stands for living tradition, which is constantly being reinterpreted through cross-generational values and fresh ideas. Here, guests will not only find regional specialities, but also a warm atmosphere and stories that resonate in every detail of the house.

The inn's cuisine stands for honest craftsmanship, sustainable management and attention to detail. Specialities such as Kardinalschnitte, Stanitzerl or the homemade dumplings are created with dedication and routine. Christoph talks enthusiastically about the home-made grammels that give the dumplings their special flavour - work that you can taste. Christoph and Magdalena make sure that all ingredients come from the region. Meat and fish are sourced from neighbouring farms, and Christoph often collects mushrooms himself in the surrounding forests. This closeness to nature is not only part of their cuisine, but also their philosophy.

The hotel's historic ice cellar invites you to discover the eventful history of the inn. Originally used to cool meat, it now houses pictures of the last time ice was cut and tools that guests can marvel at on guided tours. It tells of a time when sustainability was not just a buzzword, but a necessity - knowledge that Christoph and Magdalena are also applying to the present in order to make the inn a business for the future. After a devastating flood in 2023, the hotel was partially renovated and modernised, always with a focus on sustainable solutions and regional value creation. Gasthof Schauer shows how quality and hospitality can be further developed in an environmentally friendly way in a traditional business.

For hikers on the Donausteig or cyclists on the Drei-Sattel-Runde, the inn is a cosy place to stop for refreshments. After a sporty tour, coffee and a homemade pastry such as the Stanitzerl invite you to put your feet up and enjoy the warmth of Christoph and Magdalena.

People associate good food with happiness, which is what I bring with my original Neapolitan-style pizzas. I pay attention to the highest quality and traditional ingredients, but also to regionality.

Demand is moving away from fast, cheap fast food and more and more towards experience gastronomy and experimental cuisine. This is reflected in my Neapolitan pizzas.

We pay particular attention to sustainability and will take big steps in this direction in the future. It is also important to us to offer meatless pizzas. The selection of vegetarian and vegan pizzas makes up almost half of our menu, so we can also make a small contribution to making the world a better place. We only expect the quality from our customers that we would expect ourselves!

Tipp
Blick auf die Ortschaften Markt und Schloßberg mit der gotischen Pfarrkirche im Vordergrund und der barocken Stiftskirche. Diese beiden Gotteshäuser sind mit dem sogenannten Klostersteig (Lindenallee) verbunden.

In Waldhausen gibt es "Die Lippenhöhle". Was es mit dem Namen dieses Ortes auf sich hat, erzählt die Donau-Sage.

The foundation of the Augustinian Canons based on the foundation charter of 16 May 1147, where the Count Otto von Machland and his wife Jeutta Peilstein put parts of his extensive possessions in today's municipal area for the monastery Säbnich (high above the Danube near Sarmingstein) hands. After his death (1148 +) the members appointed by him Augustinian canons of Säbnich go away and move the monastery to the present site and give it the name "Domus Silva" - the house in the woods - Waldhausen

This Abbey was founded in 1150 and called "silvia domus", "the

house in the woods". It gave its name to the village of Waldhausen.

With awe and wonder we experience today the beauty and enormous dimension of the early Baroque collegiate church, which was formerly part of the great monastery.

Even today, the collegiate church is a center of cultural life. The widely famous organ concerts and Waldhausener Advent with "Music for Christmas" on 8 December, you should certainly visit sometimes.
