Engelhartstetten

Engelhartstetten is a market town in Marchfeld. The two well-known baroque towns are located in the extensive municipal area, which in addition to the eponymous town also includes other small towns Marchfeldschlösser Niederweiden and Castle courtyard. The municipality is also located in the Stopfenreuther Au, which was occupied in 1984 by opponents of power plant construction. A few years later, instead of the Danube power plant, the Donauauen National Park set up.

With greater distances between the villages and the sights, it is best to use your own vehicle. Because the Marchfeld is flat, it can also be a bicycle. Regional buses rarely run.
