The Donau-Auen National Park, founded in 1996, preserves the last great floodplain landscape in Central Europe on an area of more than 9,600 hectares. With its foundation in 1996, this nature jewel was placed under international protection sustainably. Since then, nature has been able to develop here free from economic constraints.

schlossORTH National Park Centre, located in Orth on the Danube, beckons as "Gateway to the Wetlands" - the starting place for getting to know the fascinating world of the Danube wetlands. Everything conveniently under one roof: the multimedia exhibition “DonAUräume”, lookout tower with annual exhibitions, castle courtyard, National Park Lounge, souvenir shop, information service and ticket office.

Experience the flora and fauna of the Danube wetlands up close on the grounds of the Schlossinsel area. Here you can discover characteristic habitats, animals and plants of the river landscape on a tour. The heart of the grounds is formed by our walk-in underwater observatory, the only of its kind in all of Austria.

Embark on a very special exploratory journey with one of our National Park rangers. Only 15 km outside the Vienna city limits!
