Castle park with lots of old trees, woodpeckers and other cavity-nesting birds. Lake with huge colony of gråhäger
Old Laxenburg Castle became a Habsburg possession in 1333. After 1780, the castle garden was rearranged as an English landscape garden. It contains an artificial pond with several partly not accessible islands. One island accommodates a huge colony of gråhäger .
There are a lot of old trees and several species of woodpecker can easily be found. Most resident species have short flight distances. Common are mellanspett, större hackspett, Gröngöling, spillkråka and mindre hackspett . But also gråspett occurs and even balkanspett and vitryggig hackspett were allready observed. Along with all those woodpeckers comes a variety of cavity-nesting birds as for instance Tits and stare. In two groups of old plane trees exist quite sizeable breeding-colonies of kaja. Other regularly occuring species during breeding season are gök, skogsduva and sommargylling.
Year round storskrake, gråhäger, Storskarv andkungsfiskare can be observed.
During winter the park gives home to ägretthäger, vigg, hornuggla and a lot of singing birds such as different species of thrushes or finches.
You can get there by bus from Vienna or by car. There are free parking lots just outside the main entrance. During working-hours a small entrance-fee is to be paid. Currently it is opened from 7 am to 3 pm.
