The Lobau. The Viennese section of the Donau-Auen National Park is an area through which the Danube formerly flowed. After river regulation commenced at the end of the 19th century, however, it was all but cut off from surface water inflow. Yet there are still traces of where these bodies of water once were.
Part of the Donau-Auen National Park is located in Vienna and allows unspoiled nature to be experienced up close. Welcome to the Lobau, the A jungle in the city?
The Lobau houses a huge amount of different species of the flora and fauna that are in danger of extinction. Since 1977 the Lobau with a 1,037 hectares (2,560 acres) property is considered as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. The Lobau is composed of nature zones, of which only 25% are being taken care of.
Lobau is full of basically untouched nature spread for miles and miles. The Lobau is part of the National Park Donau Auen and houses more than 800 types of plants and over 100 bird species. Also don’t be surprised if a naked person randomly crosses your path out there.
