Tips

Nationalpark Donau-Auen

March 3, 2024

The Dechantlacke is a long-established natural swimming area. Even as a bather, you should always remember that you are staying in the Donau-Auen National Park. Mindfulness and protecting nature are the top priority here.
Beavers leave their gnaw marks around this abandoned gravel pit and turtles can be observed in the quiet areas from April until well into autumn. Unfortunately, it is mainly abandoned red-eared and yellow-eared turtles that live here - these cause distress to the native European pond turtle.

It's a beautiful area, with many great little rest areas.
