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

The Danube-Auen National Park is a 9,600 hectare national park that stretches from Vienna to the mouth of the March in Lower Austria on the border with Slovakia. It is one of the largest, largely intact floodplain landscapes in Central Europe along the Danube. The area is 38 kilometers long and measures barely four kilometers at its widest point.

Beautiful view of the Orther Islands from the shore path. The islands themselves are difficult to access due to the dense undergrowth.

EuroVelo 6 always a pleasure

Overall, a fast-paced section of the DRW with gravel inserts. Overall very good to drive with a tendency to get bored due to the straight track.

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