You can spot some wildlife or just enjoy the peace and nature (although one elderly couple hasn't seen a beaver there in many years).

The Marchauen nature reserve is located in the floodplain of the March, in the far east of Austria, between the communities of Marchegg and Zwerndorf. In addition to near-natural alluvial forests, diverse meadows and watercourses characterize the approximately 1,100 hectare nature reserve. Originally owned by the Palffy family, the area was jointly acquired by the WWF and the municipality of Marchegg in 1970. In 1972, the Völkl family bought their share from the municipality of Marchegg. Finally, in 1978, it was designated as a nature reserve. Since then, the WWF has managed the area as a model farm for sustainable forestry and agriculture. Nest protection zones and natural forest reserves form core zones where nature is left to itself.

The historically important castle was built by King Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1268 as part of Marchegg's town fortifications. Over the centuries, the castle was constantly redesigned and got its baroque appearance through the noble family of Pállfys ab Erdöd, who used the castle as a hunting and summer residence. In 1957, the city of Marchegg acquired the castle with the help of the state of Lower Austria, after it had already been demolished. Directly adjacent to the area with its idyllic castle park are the former hunting grounds, which have been designated as the "Untere Marchauen" nature reserve for almost 50 years and are home to the largest white stork colony in Central Europe that breeds in trees.
