The Toter Grund nature reserve on Danube Island preserves a former Danube oxbow lake as a relic of the original floodplain landscape. With dense stands of poplar and willow, wetlands, and backwaters, it provides vital habitat for rare plant and animal species. The area has been protected since 1986 and contributes to the preservation of the ecologically valuable river landscape while simultaneously offering space for nature-based recreation in the heart of the city.

The Danube-Auen National Park is one of the last large, intact floodplain landscapes in Central Europe. It stretches along the Danube between Vienna and Bratislava and covers an area of around 9,600 hectares. The national park protects this unique river landscape, which is characterized by a dynamic interplay of floods, gravel banks, old watercourses and floodplain forests. The national park was created after the successful protests against the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in Hainburg in the 1980s. The protection of the floodplains became a milestone in the Austrian environmental movement. The Danube flows largely unregulated in this section, which means that natural flooding and changes in the course of the river remain possible. This dynamic creates diverse habitats.

Great cycle paths and beautiful nature

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.

Great place for a short rest.

...hard to believe that the city is only 15 minutes away by bike!

You can also observe the water that divides here: the Schwechat continues to flow as the Mitterbach and the Schwechat-Werksbach, which only reunite in Schwechat. I hope this information was helpful to you. If you want to learn more about the Triesting or the Schwechat, you can also have a look at the Wikipedia pages.
