Yspertal

Yspertal in the district of Melk is considered a true leisure paradise in the southern Waldviertel. It is not for nothing that the municipality was awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality: Its area - consisting of the villages of Haslau, Kapelleramt, Nächst Altenmarkt, Wimberg and Yspertal - offers unforgettable hikes and cycle routes. The green community is also ahead of the game when it comes to education: Austria's first secondary school for environment and economics at the Zwettl Cistercian monastery focuses on sustainability and nature.

All year round, the pristine Waldviertel landscape invites you to go hiking, climbing, biking and horse riding.
