Description
The Petronell Carnuntum Danube bank area is the newest part of the Donau-Auen National Park, which covers the Danube and the surrounding habitat from Vienna eastwards towards Bratislava. A good variety of woodland species can be seen in the woods, such as Желна, Малый пёстрый дятел, Обыкновенный дубонос and Черноголовая гаичка. The river habitat holds breeding Черныш, Серая цапля, Лебедь-шипун and Обыкновенный зимородок and both Красный коршун and Чёрный коршун can be found.

Access
You can park at the north of the town of Petronell Carnuntum. Click on the P in the map for directions. You can also travel there by bus from the town centre or by train from Vienna. A circular trail is possible by walking to Bad-Deutsch Altenberg, but this is quite long. Do not attempt to visit the riverside at high water levels, as the paths can flood.
