Beyond the rolling hills and the whispering vineyards, you’ll find the charming municipality of Nußdorf am Haunsberg. This isn’t just a picturesque town, though. Nußdorf am Haunsberg holds secrets from a time long before humans walked the earth. Imagine a time when dinosaurs roamed the planet and vast oceans covered the land. Millions of years ago, this area was submerged beneath a prehistoric sea. Over time, the remnants of these ancient creatures settled into the seabed, leaving behind a treasure trove of fossils for us to discover. One of the best places to unearth these treasures is the Kroisbachgraben, a gorge carved by the Kroisbach stream. Here, embedded within the rock, you’ll find evidence of a time when sharks patrolled these waters. Fossilized shark teeth are a common find, whispering tales of fearsome predators from a long-vanished world. The sheer abundance and diversity of fossils found here have made the Kroisbachgraben a geological site of European-wide significance. Nußdorf am Haunsberg invites you to take a step back in time and witness the wonders of prehistoric life.
