The Römerland Carnuntum - Marchfeld region located between Vienna and Bratislava has so many different little worlds to explore. You can immerse yourself in the world of the Ancient Romans at Carnuntum Archeological Park or enter the world of the baroque era at the lovely Marchfeld country estates. Or you can explore the fascinating world of the Danube wetlands (Nationalpark Donau-Auen). Culinary delights are a magnet for gourmets. The tables of this region are richly laid – with wine from the Carnuntum wine region, asparagus from the Marchfeld, fish from the Danube. A number of delightful addresses await you – from cozy country inns to fine award-winning restaurants.
During the baroque era, Vienna society discovered the vast expanses of the Marchfeld and gently rolling hills of the Leithagebirge as relaxing refuges and profitable hunting grounds. Families who took pride in themselves built a country estate there.
