Litschau: Austria's Northernmost Town in the Heart of the Waldviertel

In the far north of Austria, near the border with the Czech Republic, lies Litschau, the country's northernmost town. Its tranquil main square, with a fountain and parish church, forms the centre of a town known for its distinctive borderland atmosphere.

Forests, Ponds, Quiet

Litschau is surrounded by the typical Waldviertel landscape of dense forests and numerous ponds, a natural setting that invites long hikes and bike rides. This quiet and closeness to nature rank among the region's greatest strengths.

A Town of Superlatives

Beyond its status as Austria's northernmost town, Litschau is also known for its particularly continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers. Schloss Litschau, owned by the Seilern-Aspang family, further shapes the townscape and opens to visitors on special occasions.
