Die Sonnenwelt ist wirklich sehr sehenswert und sowohl für Kinder als auch Erwachsene sehr spannend. Für Kinder gibt es viele Dinge zum Ausprobieren. Toll ist auch die Außenanlage - hier empfiehlt es sich im Frühling oder Sommer zu kommen.

This is a large pool area with saunas, in-door and out-door pools, on the banks of a lake. So you have many choices where to swim or relax after swimming. Having small children, we appreciated that most pools are heated to 32 C+. I also enjoyed swimming in the 25 m competition pool (heated to 25 C). The pools are filled with salty water. There is one slide for children, jacuzzi, and a whirl pool. We went there in July, still the place was quite, not crowded. There is large parking in front of the spa. You can buy a 4 hour ticket and a 1 day ticket. For sauna entry you pay extra.

Der Besuch bei den waldviertler Alpakas hat uns nachhaltig begeistert. Die Tiere haben auf uns eine echte Faszination ausgeübt. Wir absolvierten eine llehrreiche Hofführung. Man kann auch Trekking-Touren buchen. Im Hofladen haben wir Produkte aus Alpaka-Fell gekauft.

Reviewed By vakantiejozef - Olen, Belgium
Untill the19th century one tried to ensure that no religious building was errected in the vicinity of the church, just a handfull of wayside shrines, an exception to this rule is the 1902 tomb of Buquoy on the edge of the cemetery (Karel Bůžek, design Josef Schultz). The dinasty had laid their deceased members to rest into a tomb established in 1648 in the presbytery of the Church of Saint Peter and Paul. The tomb has a five-sided presbytary with south side a winding staircase leading to the bell tower. The walls are fair-face brickwork with sandstone ornaments and granite base walls and columns. The ground floor portal tympanon: a stone embossed coat of arms of Buquoy held up by a pair of griffins and the family motto "Dieu Et Mon Roi" (God and my King). The entrance is decorated by a large gilded mosaic (Max Švabinský) depicting the Virgin Mary standing on a crescent moon in a golden halo, crowned by a pair of angels. Mary holds the Infant Jesus on one arm as they finger the prayer beads. On the crypt portal a large coat of arms. The square central nave is vaulted with one part of star vault with moulded formerets finished on beams. Side naves are vaulted segmental. The side walls has six windows with Gothic tracery, glazed with Cathedral glass. Turret with belfry, the antechamber opens into the side stairway and is roofed by one part of cross vault. Five coffin recesses are located in the presbytery and four under the side aisles. Under the chapel is a crypt which copies the ground plan of the chapel. This unconventional family tomb has no underground crypts, the lower sections house a hall of farewell and whilst the upper floor the chapel with an altar and eight coffins (family members). It now serves as a chantry chapel and hall of farewell.
