Sitzenberger Schlossteich
Ponds, lakes and springs
Description
Sitzenberg-Reidling in the district of Tulln is a popular excursion destination with historical and natural diversity.
Sitzenberg Castle, once owned by Styrian princes, is idyllically situated on the castle pond, which already existed before the 18th century.
Today, the 12-hectare body of water, which is fed by several regional tributaries, is owned by the municipality and is part of a sustainable, near-natural pond management system.
The carp nature trail runs around the pond - a 45-minute, easy-to-walk circular route with informative boards about fishing and carp farming. This project was designed by students from HBLA Sitzenberg and is also aimed at children with fun quiz questions. There is a playground, tennis courts and a small forest along the path.
The nature experience is complemented by seasonal events such as the pond festival in July, the Abfischfest in October and the Christmas fish market in December.
In winter, the pond is ideal for ice skating, weather permitting.
Sitzenberg combines history, nature and regional culture to create a varied leisure experience for all ages.
