Traversing the Trails of Payerbach and Reichenau an der Rax (Niederösterreich, Austria)

Less than 70km from the Austrian capital of Vienna sits the neighbouring communities of Payerbach and Reichenau, situated in the southern region of the province of Neunkirchen in the state of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria in English). They share a beautiful landscape full of green hills, parks and the Schwarza river running through both of them, as well as a local cultural architecture (unique to the local area) and have a fascinating shared local history.
