Via Natura Stage 10: Power points in people and landscape

Welcome to the VIA NATURA - a long-distance hiking trail with a length of around 130 km.

In Dürnstein, the starting point of the last stage, the connection between people and the landscape and their power points is clearly explained.

For thousands of years, wise people have taught us that nature is a great book from which we can learn infinitely much. But instead of reading the book of nature, we listened to everything else and spurned the infinite intelligence of Mother Earth. Via Natura wants to bring people closer to nature and nature to people again.
