- Obst-Hügel-Land Nature Park : The Obst-Hügel-Land is located between Wels and Eferding and spans the two communities of Scharten and St. Marienkirchen.

Every year, when the fruit trees are in bloom, the fruit hill country with its cherry and apple trees in bloom is a popular destination. In addition to the production of must, the fruit trees in the Schlier area, which is very susceptible to landslides, are also of great importance due to their slope stabilizing effect.
