The municipalities of Mautern, Bergern, Furth, Rossatz-Arnsdorf and Schönbühel-Aggsbach will be intensifying their collaboration over the coming years and focusing on the common positioning of the south bank. Under the direction of Martin Vogg, who was previously responsible for the project Wachau 2010 plus, existing offers should be combined with new ones and wrapped up into bookable packages, starting with the two locations of Maria Langegg and the Aggsbach Charterhouse.

One topic that has preoccupied the region for many years is the lack of a crossing over the Danube between Melk and Spitz near the towns of Aggsbach-Markt and Aggsbach-Dorf. After several unsuccessful attempts to set up a conventional bicycle ferry between them, the two towns are now pursuing an unconventional approach: in the future, they could be connected by a cableway across the Danube.

The objective of the member municipalities is the further development of the Dunkelsteinerwald region. A micro-regional development concept should therefore be created with the aim of setting the timetable for the next few years under intensive citizen participation. The participants discussed various issues in meetings with experts and workshops on the future, and together identified the key topics for the next few years to ensure the successful further development of the Dunkelsteinerwald region.

In 2011, the Dunkelsteinerwald sub-region defined the topic of "Business & Labour Market" as one of three focal issues. The networking of business and population was defined as a central goal with citizen participation.
