The small region of the future area Thayaland is located in the northern Waldviertel and consists of the 15 communities of the Waidhofen an der Thaya district , in which a total of around 28,000 people live.
The association Zukunftsraum Thayaland is the operator of regional initiatives. This association supports cross-community cooperation on a voluntary basis. The association Zukunftsraum Thayaland is also the initiator of the “ Thayarunde Radweg ” project, which in 2012 took its first steps towards implementation. After intensive work, the first partial opening of the Slavonice - Fratres line took place on August 17, 2014. The entire opening of the route was celebrated with Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner on June 25, 2017 in Waidhofen an der Thaya . The future area Thayaland has been a climate and energy model region (KEM-Thayaland) since 2011. In the area of mobility, further accents were set with projects on the subject of everyday cycling and the cross-border bus line 764 (WA15).
The association Zukunftsraum Thayaland has received awards and recognition. Among them are the milestone 2004, the Euregio Innovation Prize 2006, the Climate Star 2016, the Radland Mobility Prize 2017, the 2nd Prize of Village Renewal for “Holism” 2018 and the Eurosolar Prize 2019.

history
The association Zukunftsraum Thayaland has its origins in the small region “Erlebnis Thayaland” founded in 1997 and the cross-border impulse center (GIZ) Thayaland and the small region PWGD. Until 2006, GIZ Thayaland dealt with “breaking down borders in people's minds” and activating interregional, cross-border cooperation. These activities are important for the Lower Austrian border regions in order to be able to better use the economic opportunities of the EU-east expansion. Thereafter, the Thayaland future region was founded as the successor organization to the PWGD small region ( Pfaffenschlag municipality, Waidhofen an der Thaya municipality, Groß-Siegharts municipality and Dietmanns market municipality ) the GIZ Thayaland ( Dobersberg municipality, Waldkirchen an der Thaya municipality, Windigsteig municipality (since 2003), Market town of Thaya , town of Raabs an der Thaya (since 2003), town of Waidhofen an der Thaya-Land (since 2003) town of Karlstein an der Thaya , town of Ludweis-Aigen (since 2003), town of Vitis (since 2003) town of Kautzen and town of Gastern ) and the small region "Erlebnis Thayaland". The future area of Thayaland is thus an association of all communities in the Waidhofen an der Thaya district and is therefore the only small region that encompasses an entire district. This then prepared the cross-border project “ Raabs-Horn Telč 2009 Regional Exhibition ”. The association Zukunftsraum Thayaland has been a member of the cross-border initiative Region Renesance since September 14, 2014.
