Danube Floodplains National Park

But the paradisiacal floodplain landscape in the easternmost section of the Danube in Lower Austria also offers paradisiacal nature in the idyllic oxbow lakes of the Danube and unspoiled wilderness in one of the last primeval forests in Europe: The Danube Floodplain National Park with its fascinating flora and fauna guarantees unforgettable nature experiences and invites you to take guided hikes, go tubing and canoeing on the oxbow lakes of the Danube.

Far more than 700 plant species, over 30 mammal and 100 breeding bird species, 8 reptile and 13 amphibian species, thousands of small insects as well as about 50 fish species are at home in the Danube floodplains today. The exhibition "DonAUräume" in the schlossORTH National Park Center shows interesting facts about the Danube Floodplain National Park. It is also possible to visit the open-air area on the castle island with its adventure and underwater observation station. Those who want to dive deeper into the world of the floodplains can also take part in a guided tour with a national park ranger here.
