Orth an der Donau

The hospitable market town of Orth an der Donau in the district of Gänserndorf is located in the heart of the Donau-Auen National Park - and directly on the Danube cycle path between Passau, Vienna and Budapest. With exciting excursion destinations, the town in Marchfeld welcomes its guests for a family break or a short vacation in the fresh air.

Orth on the Danube: the floodplain with sightseeing plus
Marked cycling and hiking trails promise wonderful adventures in the open air. A floodplain nature trail leads into the green wilderness on the Danube. Also worth seeing for adults and children are the numerous historical buildings in Orth, such as the parish church of St. Michael and the former moated castle, which now houses the National Park Center and event center schlossORTH as well as museumORTH. In the castle park, an old plane tree towers around 40 meters high as a natural monument - and is therefore affectionately called "Giant" by the residents.

On a floodplain safari in the national park - on foot, by boat or by bike
A hike through the floodplain forest or a boat trip on the Danube? Countless animals and plants live in the SchlossORTH National Park - many of them are considered endangered and are under strict protection. Together with the national park rangers, the fascinating landscape can be explored in a particularly interesting way: on foot or by boat. Families enjoy hiking through the water wilderness on the large Orther circular hiking trail. The Donau-Auen National Park Tour is a great tip for cyclists.
