Nature · 1–2 h · free · dozens of pairs of white storks nesting in oaks · March to August

In the WWF floodplain reserve at Marchegg, on the banks of the March and 10 km north of Schloss Hof, white storks nest not on church towers but high in old oaks, as they did before there were villages. Others nest on the roof of Schloss Marchegg, beside the reserve entrance. They arrive in early March, breed from April and leave for Africa at the end of August. In 2020, 37 pairs bred on the lower March. Bring binoculars and stay on the marked paths.
