The renaturation of the Danube near Hainburg, particularly in the Johler Arm area, is one of the most important ecological projects in the Austrian Danube region. The goal was to return the heavily regulated Danube to its natural state and to restore valuable floodplain forest and river habitats. The Johler Arm, a former branch of the Danube near Hainburg, was reconnected to the main stream as part of the project. This reconnection ensures regular water flow through the branch, restoring dynamic river processes such as flooding, sediment relocation, and natural bank formation. As a result, many rare animal and plant species – including fish, amphibians, and waterfowl – benefit from new habitats. The project also improves ecological continuity for migratory aquatic organisms. A landscape-enhanced floodplain landscape was created along the Danube, where the natural diversity of the Danube can once again be seen and experienced – a successful example of near-natural watercourse development in the Danube Floodplains National Park.

Baroque Garden - The Garden Paradise, Hof Castle The area sloping down to the March lowlands to the east of the castle was predestined to create a garden based on the French model simply because of its location. In just a few years, Prince Eugene had the architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt and the garden engineer Anton Zinner create one of the most important gardens in the German-speaking world on a total of seven terraces. The vertical central axis, along which there are numerous fountains, divides the garden into two mirror-image areas on each level. A well-thought-out sculpture program created by the sculptor Johann Christoph Mader pays homage to the lord of the castle, Prince Eugene. The water required to operate the fountains and to supply the plants was derived from three ponds in the nearest village of Groißenbrunn. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the garden gradually fell into disrepair. The three paintings by Bernardo Belotto, known as Canaletto, were one of the most important sources for the gradual reconstruction of the individual terrace areas since 2002. These views of the palace complex were created on Maria Theresa's commission around 1760. Text / Source: Schloss Hof, 2294 Schloßhof 1 https://www.schlosshof.at/ueber-schloss-hof/garten

A river and forest setting that pleases. In Italy similar settings are found only in high mountain landscapes. Handsome.

With a bit of luck you can see kingfishers and beavers!

Beautiful here is also a beautiful Christmas market and Easter market that is worth a visit.

Here you can hike comfortably through the Au.
