The Public Druid Playground Roggenreith is a fun-filled destination for families.
Surrounded by the peaceful Waldviertel countryside, children can run around and play—the Roggenreith Public Druid Playground.
They also get to experience the atmosphere of the Fire-Water Garden at the Roggenreith Public Druid Playground.
For our guests staying in the vacation rentals Gutenbrunn The Druid Playground can be easily combined with other attractions in Roggenreith.
A Playground in the Fire-Water Garden
The Roggenreith Public Druid Playground is part of the Waldviertler Whisky Experience grounds in Roggenreith. In addition, the approximately 7,000-square-meter Fire-Water-Garden, which has been open to visitors since 2008.
The garden explores the four elements: earth, air, water, and fire. These elements also play an important role in the production of whiskey. The grounds include, among other things:
- The Fire-Water Arena
- various water features
- The Celtic Cycle of Life and the Tree of the Year
- a kindergarten
- The Public Druid Playground
This way, adults can gain interesting insights into the region's culinary culture, while younger visitors can focus on play and physical activity.
Nature, Exercise, and Imagination
The very name “Druid Playground” piques one’s curiosity. The theme draws on the mystical world of the Celts and druids and fits perfectly with the neighboring Celtic Tree of Life and Tree of the Year.
The playground offers families a pleasant way to make their visit to the Whiskey Experience suitable for children. While the children are busy playing, parents can enjoy the natural surroundings and explore the Fire-Water Garden with them.
As with any public playground, it is up to the accompanying adults to supervise the children and determine which areas are appropriate for each child.
Ideal as a stopover for families
You don't need to set aside an entire vacation day for the public Druid playground. It's perfect as a quick stop or as part of a larger family outing around Roggenreith and Kirchschlag.
This visit pairs particularly well with the following attractions:
- Waldviertel Whiskey Experience
- Fire-Water Garden in Roggenreith
- Celtic Cycle of Life and the Tree of the Year
- Forest and Whiskey Tour
- Shrine to the Blue Lord
- Historical Active Trail Kirchschlag
- The Origins of the Kleine Krems

Accessibility Information
There is no clear information available regarding the full accessibility of the Druid Playground itself. Natural areas and play areas may be uneven.
The Whisky Experience notes that most rooms are wheelchair accessible. However, there is a very steep ramp leading to the restrooms, so guests should ask for assistance at the reception desk. The Whisky Cinema is accessible only by stairs; as an alternative, the film can be shown in the Whisky Lounge for wheelchair users.
If you have any special requirements, we recommend giving us a quick call before your visit.
Our Tip from Anna and Herbert
Combine a visit to the public Druid playground with a stroll through the Fire-Water Garden and the Celtic Tree of Life and Tree of the Year circles. This makes for a varied outing where children can play and adults can learn about the unique features of Roggenreith.
If you still have time afterward, you can visit the Blue Lord Pilgrimage Church or take a short hike around Kirchschlag.
