Naturpark Heidenreichsteiner Moor, Nature reserve and museum in Lower Austria, Austria

Naturpark Heidenreichsteiner Moor covers about 30 hectares of moorland at 600 to 610 m above sea level in the northwestern Waldviertel. The core is the Gemeindeau nature reserve and Natura 2000 area, with the moor beginning as a raised bog in the north and continuing south as a transitional bog. About two thirds is wooded with spruce, pine and birch, while roughly ten hectares remain open, crossed by a boardwalk.

The municipality of Heidenreichstein designated the Gemeindeau as a nature reserve in 1981. In 1989 the site was founded as a nature park under the name Hochmoor Gemeindeau – Heidenreichstein, and in 2005 it was reconceived and renamed Naturpark Heidenreichsteiner Moor. In 2005 the Association of Austrian Nature Parks named it Austrian Nature Park of the Year.

The museum exhibits show how people historically harvested peat from these lands and used it as fuel. The displays explain the connection between moorland and the daily life of local residents.

Two marked walking trails guide visitors through the site, offering different route options for various fitness levels. Information panels along the trails help explain the landscape and its natural features.

The Hängender Stein is a wobble stone, one of the Waldviertel's typical weathered granite formations, standing at 608 m on the northern edge of the reserve. Such stones were often visited as cult sites. It lies at the park boundary, not inside the core moor.
