Die Wachau hat vieles zu bieten. Einen Einblick in die kulturelle Vergangenheit der Wachau und das Weltkulturerbe bekommt man im Rahmen einer Wanderung in Aggsbach Markt.

Als Anknüpfung zum Projekt „Pielach Mühlau – Naturschätze bewusst erleben“ in der Gemeinde Hafnerbach ist ein weiteres Projekt zur Stärkung der Umweltbildung geplant. Dabei soll die Natur vor der Haustüre bewusst erlebt und achtsames Verhalten in der Natur vermittelt werden.

Der Kultur- und Tourismusverein Hafnerbach und die Gemeinde Hafnerbach haben sich ein großes Ziel gesetzt: Im Erdgeschoss der Volksschule Hafnerbach entsteht das neue Forum.Hafnerbach, ein offener Raum und ein Kommunikationszentrum für den Ort und darüber hinaus.

Since 2004, an intensive exchange has been taking place between the two World Heritage cultural landscapes of the Wachau in Austria and the Upper Middle Rhine Valley in Germany. The cooperation should now be further intensified by a joint volunteer camp with a focus on caring for the cultural landscape.

Young women living in rural areas overwhelmingly underestimate their personal opportunities for the future compared to those living in urban areas. This is resulting in a brain-drain of well-educated women. This project is intended to highlight how modern and diverse the situation for women can be in rural areas and what opportunities for the future are on offer in the Wachau-Dunkelsteinerwald region.

In the future, there should be stronger focus on topics related to the Dunkelsteinerwald in lessons at the region’s primary schools. Teaching staff worked on how to achieve this in an initial project, the results of which are now being implemented in another LEADER project.
