Eckartsau

Welcome to Eckartsau, the charming natural paradise on the edge of the Donau-Auen National Park! Discover a harmonious combination of culture, history and idyllic nature.

The highlight is Eckartsau Castle - the magnificent baroque hunting lodge of the Habsburgs, which is open from March to October. Immerse yourself in the exciting history of the end of the Danube monarchy and be enchanted by the architecture and stories on a guided tour.

A special cultural event is the annual castle concert in May, which attracts music lovers from near and far. Experience unforgettable musical moments in the historic ambience of the magnificent ballroom.

Enjoy the castle park, which is accessible all year round, for relaxing walks or visit the information point in the castle to find out more about the Donau-Auen National Park. Tip: Walk through the village of Eckartsau - the pearl of the Marchfeld. Under the motto "Small places - big stories", the 4.3 km walk leads through the castle park, to the protective dam and through the village. The free app with audio stories, photos and illustrations brings the tour to life.

The pilgrimage church "Maria Schutz" in Kopfstetten is not only a spiritual retreat, but - built on a hill - stands out from the flat landscape and can be seen from afar. Visit the historic train station in Kopfstetten, the symbolic place from which Emperor Karl I and Zita set off on their journey into exile - a significant piece of history that brings the past to life.
