very nice nature expirience park with animals and much to see.
Great place to visit. It was not crowded at all, but really close to Vienna. The castle is unique and offers a very interesting museum collection.
The small park on the island is also very nice and full of wildlife. Of course, the most unique place is the underwater station. Kinds enjoy passing through the hanging bridge.
An important tip - bring along mosquitto & tricks repellent. On a hot day - sunscreen and water. There is no air conditioning in the castle and the museum so it can get really hot also inside. There is only a vending machine where you can get water or something else to drink.

Incredible experience, very interesting place for kids and adults who are interested in nature overall and Danube specific. All the details created with an empathy to nature. Castle exhibition quite big with hidden gems. Ask the personal for explanation and guide. Highly recommended to visit as a full day adventure.
We lacked some research into what is actually on site of the castle. As we prefer historic displays, we were surprised the whole tour is focused on the nature of the Danube. The tour is unique though with a superb theatre "fairytaile-ish" show explaining the origin of a floodplain forrest. The more interesting thing is the castle garden where you can see local animals in their habitat and even go under the water level in a local aquarium.
Great place for families that are visiting the area. The palace itself offers a piece of history displaying the development and importance throughout the centuries. The palace's garden offers a collection of animals such as turtles, fish, snakes and sheep. Most of the children run around to the small pond/ river where they can enter the water and spend some moments trying to build something with stick and stones. Recommended place to spend a couple of hours on a summer afternoon!
Clean rooms, not so far away from bus/train station. Bed was very comfortable! Each room has TV and balcony.
WLAN was slow with frequent connection losses and breakfast could be better, but I was happy for the price we paid.
