The Danube, the second longest river in Europe and the most important waterway in Austria, has been making its impression on man and nature since time immemorial. As a band between the East and the West, the river links the most varied of people and cultures.

The Danube flows for 260 km through Lower Austria, coursing through the most variegated landscapes.

Rich in history, the Nibelungengau and the Wachau constitute one of the most bewitching river valleys in Europe: part of the world heritage, internationally renowned wine growing region and preferred hotspot for connoisseurs.

Colourful settings, wide panoramic views and an attitude to life full of freshness are what the Tullner Donauraum has to offer. The wine-growing region of Wagram impresses through its soft loess terraces and the original Kellergassen or cellar streets.

The region of Auland-Carnuntum to the east of Vienna invites you to discover and experience fairy-tale worlds. Whether in the exciting world of the Romans, through the Archaeological Park Carnuntum, in the wine growing area of Carnuntum, in the opulent world of baroque life with the Marchfeld castles, or in the fascinating world of the meadows, in the National Park Donau-Auen.
