It is recommended to take the short route as the last few hundred meters are a road hike.

Just a stone's throw from the last houses in the village of Gänserndorf, we come across a small sacred monument. The wooden crucifix is located in an area enclosed on three sides by a wooden fence, with an open fourth side inviting passersby to approach. The name "Hubertus Cross" already indicates its origin, as Saint Hubertus is known primarily as the patron saint of hunters and marksmen: It was donated in 1969 by the Gänserndorf Hunting Society, which had it renovated in 2005.

Orth Castle is one of the oldest surviving castles in the region and has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. The castle was first mentioned in the 12th century and was originally a medieval moated castle. In the 16th century, the castle was converted into a Renaissance palace. Over the centuries, it served various noble families and was later taken over by the municipality. Today, it is a listed building, is an important part of Lower Austria's cultural heritage and is particularly known as the Danube-Auen National Park Center. The castle houses the national park's visitor center, which is dedicated to the unique flora and fauna of this protected floodplain landscape. Orth Castle is located right in the heart of the Danube-Auen National Park, one of the last great floodplain landscapes in Central Europe. It combines historical architecture with modern environmental education. An ideal place to learn more about the fascinating floodplain landscape and its importance for nature conservation while enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.

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
