Hollabrunn

The town of Hollabrunn - west of the Ernstbrunn Forest - is the headquarters of the Weinviertel district of the same name. Hollabrunn was first mentioned in a document in 1135, but there is evidence that the area has been settled since the Neolithic Age. Today, the modern town is primarily known as a school town - with numerous first-class educational institutions. There are also great leisure activities for family excursions and vacations in the countryside.
