The market town of Zwentendorf an der Donau in the district of Tulln welcomes its guests: with unspoiled landscapes, a wide range of leisure activities and a wide variety of restaurants, such as the Donauhof.

Zwentendorf unites eleven villages in the municipal area - Bärndorf, Buttendorf, Dürnrohr, Erpersdorf, Kaindorf, Kleinschönbichl, Maria Ponsee, Pischelsdorf, Oberbierbaum, Preuwitz and Zwentendorf.

The Romans already settled in the area and built a fort called ASTURIS on today's municipal territory near the nuclear power plant - although this is no longer visible above ground today. The eleven villages are connected by a Celtic tree circle.

Zwentendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1130 - it was probably founded in the 12th century. The pilgrimage church Maria Ponsee also dates from this time and was enlarged and baroqueized in the 18th century according to the plans of Jacob Prandtauer.

Zwentendorf also made history with the construction of the only nuclear power plant in the world that was never put into operation. In 1978, the Austrians decided against its commissioning in a referendum. Today, the power plant site on the Danube is home to numerous animal and plant species. The power plant and turbine halls are used by technicians as a training center. Despite all the detours, the power plant still supplies electricity today - 100 percent ecologically from solar power. The nuclear power plant can also be visited and booked as a location for conferences and events.

Zwentendorf is known beyond the country's borders for its cultural and tourist attractions. Zwentendorf is located on the Danube cycle path and three cycle routes(Traisental cycle route, Perschlingtal cycle route and the Tullnerfeld cycle route) lead directly to Zwentendorf. E-bikes can be charged at public charging stations. You can easily pitch your tent at the campsite at any time - the nearby Donauhof restaurant provides culinary delights. The Zwentendorf cabaret stage can also be found here - many cabaret stars have taken a seat on the red couch and provided hours of entertainment with their program. The Bärndorfer Huts right on the cycle path or in front of the nuclear power plant invites you to take a break with food and drink - it is an approx. 200-year-old farmhouse that was demolished in the Lavantal and rebuilt on site - it takes its name from the surrounding alluvial forest of the so-called Bärndorfer Au.

Come and see for yourself the wonderful natural sites and the wide range of tourist and cultural attractions as well as the hospitality of Zwentendorf.

The Danube floodplains and the area around the renaturalized Traisen are wonderful places to hike.
