Regions

The Danube Region

Scenic landscapes, prized cultural treasures plus exquisite culinary delights and wines – the Danube in Lower Austria promises so many precious – and delicious – moments.

Mostviertel

Mostviertel means “perry district.” Gently rolling hills in the north—where the pears flourish. Mountainous in the south—once iron country. This diversity makes for fascinating contrasts.

Waldviertel

Waldviertel means “forest district” and has trees galore. But it also has meadows and fields, high moor and heath landscapes, not to mention famous rocking stones.

Weinviertel

Weinviertel means “wine district”, so the region is full of vineyards and cellar-lined roads. It is ideal for relaxing and enjoyable trips—also and especially by bicycle.

Vienna Woods

A lush green idyll of meadows and forests undulates just outside the gates of Vienna. The Vienna Woods is a recreational paradise full of action and history, music and wine.
