Weiden an der March

The Weinviertel municipality of Weiden an der March in the district of Gänserndorf is located in the eastern Marchfeld - on the border with Slovakia. It consists of the three cadastral communities of Baumgarten an der March, Oberweiden and Zwerndorf. Finds from the Upper Palaeolithic period and two Hallstatt burial mounds bear witness to earlier settlements in ancient times.

Weiden an der March is known above all for its extensive nature reserves. There are also beautiful historic buildings to discover. The 300-metre-long wine cellar lane in Baumgarten an der March is home to 15 romantically dilapidated cellars. The tranquil landscape invites you to enjoy hiking and cycling. Visitors can fortify themselves in the popular Weydner Wirtshaus - a piece of tavern tradition in the middle of the Marchfeld.
