DIE GARTEN TULLN

Tulln's show-garden park, beside the Danube, with a treetop walkway and adventure playground; next to the site, the municipal sports service hires boats at the Wasserpark.

DIE GARTEN TULLN runs Tulln's show-garden park, on the Danube bank, about a 15-minute walk from Tulln Stadt station. It sells day and season tickets, with a family rate, and organises guided tours and audio guides.

Who they are

It is the company that operates Tulln's large show-garden site, upriver from Vienna, with 70 different gardens next to the Wasserpark, the city's river park. It is run by Franz Gruber, as managing director, and Thomas Uibel. It works with the Lower Austrian initiative Natur im Garten, which promotes ecological gardening, and holds the European environmental certification EMAS. As well as opening the gardens to the public, it organises programmes for schools, celebrations and open-air congresses.

What the ticket includes

The show gardens, the treetop walkway with its viewpoint at about 30 metres and the children's adventure playground. From 16:00 the ticket costs half.

The tree walkway, by the architect Ernst Maurer, climbs to 34.95 metres. You reach it by 201 steps, and from the top you see the gardens, the Tulln basin, the Wagram vineyards, the Wienerwald and the Danube; on clear days the Schneeberg and the Ötscher appear. According to the company itself, the whole site, walkway included, can be toured with a pushchair or wheelchair, and at the entrance they lend wheelchairs free against a deposit.

Prices for one day:

  • Adults: €16; pensioners: €15; students and people with disabilities: €13.50
  • Ages 6 to 18: €8.50; under 6: free
  • One adult with their children: €20; two adults with their children: €37

There are season passes from €41 for children and €59 for adults.

Guided tours, audio guide and boats

On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays at 13:30 there is a free guided tour, in German. Groups, schools and individuals can book their own tours, also at dusk or at night, and the company mentions guides in German, English and Czech. The audio guide is free: download the Hearonymus app on your phone.

The pedal boats and four-seat canoes of the Wasserpark are not run by DIE GARTEN TULLN but by the sports services of Tulln Town Council, who give information on +43 2272 690-330.
