Tischberg

Tischberg is a mountain summit in the Waldviertel region that reaches about 1063 meters and stands as the highest point in the Gmünd district. From the top, views extend across the surrounding landscape of forests and fields that spread in all directions.

The mountain served as a natural border between communities in the Waldviertel region across generations. Its role as a landmark and boundary marker shaped how local people understood their territories and relationships with neighboring areas.

The summit serves as a meeting place where locals and visitors gather to share the expansive views across the landscape. It functions as a natural gathering spot where people come together to experience the heights and observe the surrounding terrain.

Several marked hiking routes reach the summit from the town of Karlstift and are suitable for various fitness levels. The paths vary in length and difficulty, so different hikers can find a route that works for them.

From the summit, visitors can see both Austrian and Czech territory on clear days because the mountain sits right at the border. This natural vantage point allows people to observe two countries at the same time.
