Wachauzonen in Weißenkirchen

Bauen im Welterbe ist ein aktuelles Thema. Wachauzonen ermöglichen den Gemeinden, durch den Bebauungsplan präziser als mit herkömmlichen Methoden die mögliche Bebauung in historisch wertvollen Siedlungsbereichen festzulegen. Das Konzept der Wachauzonen ist deshalb eines der zentralen Elemente zur Bewahrung der wachautypischen Baukultur im Welterbe.

The Fourth Wall – Seekopf Lookout Tower

The Seekopf and the Hirschwand belong to the World Heritage Trail and together form a popular excursion destination that is highly rated by hikers. A lookout tower affords a phenomenal 360-degree view. The prior existing tower was already over 25 years old and was showing signs of rotting, so it had to be demolished for safety reasons. The association "Jankerlklub Rossatz" and the market municipality of Rossatz-Arnsdorf worked on the construction of a new tower in order to continue being able to offer the rewarding view of the Wachau.

Our meadows, our asset: Protecting meadows through regional development in the Jauerling-Wachau Nature Park

The Nature Park owes its great diversity of plants and animals to its mosaic-like cultural landscape and the extensively used meadows. Global changes are forcing many agricultural businesses to specialise or shut up shop. A consequence of this are meadows that are no longer managed and increasingly turning into woodland. To counteract this trend and preserve diversity in the Jauerling-Wachau Nature Park, a nature park brand is under development. This label stands for management compatible with nature and gives the businesses’ products added ecological value.
