Danube-Auen National Park

Well over 700 species of plants, over 30 species of mammals and 100 species of breeding birds, eight reptile and 13 amphibian species, thousands of small insects as well as 50 species of fish make their home in the Danube-Auen region today. The ‘DonAUräume’ exhibition in the schlossORTH National Park Centre displays interesting information about Danube-Auen National Park. The outdoor area on the Schlossinsel (‘Castle Island’) with its experience and underwater observation station can also be visited. If you’re interested in taking a closer look at the world of the wetlands, you can also take part in a tour with a national park ranger.
