A dinosaur world, three tubing lanes, a movable Wackerstein and a viewpoint at 648 m represent very different sides of Natternbach. When planning a stay, it helps to start by asking what you want to focus on: Would you like an attraction to be the main event, are you particularly interested in unusual rock formations and views, or would you also like to include Gothic architecture? You can consider these interests separately; there is no need to turn them into a single day trip.
Dinosaur World and Tubing
IKUNA Dinosaur World is considered the largest dinosaur world in Upper Austria. The IKUNA Triple Tubing Bahn has three lanes for descents on special tubes. This gives you two distinct options: Dinosaur World is the broader attraction, while Triple Tubing offers the specific feature of three lanes and descents on tubes. If you want to choose one activity as your main focus, you can decide whether you are more interested in the themed attraction or in a clearly defined downhill ride.
Views and Unusual Rock Formations
At 648 m, Turnstein is the highest elevation in the municipality of Natternbach and also one of its most beautiful viewpoints. It combines a specific elevation with the view as a reason to visit in its own right. At Jungfraustein, the shape takes center stage: this historic natural monument consists of two imposing Wackerstein boulders shaped by the weather. The upper stone can be moved by hand without effort. The two natural attractions therefore differ in character: Turnstein is defined by its elevation and views, while Jungfraustein is known for its two-stone formation and its movable upper stone.
The “Natternbach: Jungfraustein Loop” route leads to the source area of the Tresleinsbach stream. This is a specific destination for hikers; check current trail conditions before setting out.
Gothic Architecture
Natternbach Parish Church also adds a cultural touch: it showcases Gothic architecture with a net rib vault. The ribs arranged in a net-like pattern give the vault its distinctive structural form. The church thus offers a specific architectural point of interest for anyone interested in building styles alongside attractions and landscapes. The Gothic classification and the net rib vault describe two aspects of the same focus: the architectural style and a striking architectural detail.
