Granite World of Experience:
The Nature Trail on Stones features more than 160 exhibits and is the biggest of its kind in Europe. Unique is its geological grouping that includes all regions of Austria. Main emphasis is on granite stones from the granite plateau (Mühlviertel, Waldviertel, Sauwald). Hammerhütte holds a small museum. A historic quarry at the end of the trail is the setting of the impressive ARENA GRANIT natural amphitheatre. Tiers are made from granite rocks and the natural stage with wild-romantic rock faces in the backdrop is the setting for open air events in the summer months. Guided tours are offered.
Granite as Construction Material:
For centuries the fine and almost white Neuhaus granite has been extracted in the region. Attentive hikers will notice numerous doors, water feeders, fountains, stairs and columns.
