Tadten national park village
The area south of the village up to the state border at the "Einserkanal" is covered by marshy meadows of the HANSAG - an oasis of peace and quiet.
The protection of the great bustard - at 16kg the heaviest flying bird of the world - a large part of the HANSAG has been turned into a protection zone of the Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel national park.
On the new HANSAG bike trail which takes you through the village this part of the national park can be reached in a few minutes. Lovers of nature will love their stay here due to the great variety of fauna and flora. Especially the mating season of the great bustard is something really special.
Go and discover the countryside around Tadten on well-maintained, level trails past yellow rape and sunflower fields, past fields with red tomatoes and green peppers, past vineyards with green and blue grapes. All this and much more either by foot, by bike or on horses back.
Try local specialties in one of the three inns of the village. Try excellent wines and liquors from the vineyards around Tadten. Fresh and organic vegetables can be bought directly at the farmer.
The village center is a large field.
During the last years Tadten could win the flower competition several times. Contact - skip
