Korneuburg District, Administrative district in Lower Austria, Austria
Korneuburg District is an administrative division in Lower Austria, extending north of Vienna and comprising 20 municipalities of varying sizes. The area combines urban towns like Stockerau with smaller villages and rural areas in close proximity to the Danube.
The area took its current administrative form in the 19th century and long served as Vienna's periphery. A major change occurred in 2017 when portions of a neighboring region enlarged the Korneuburg territory.
The district displays a mix of small-town centers and rural villages that differ in their architecture and everyday character. In places like Stockerau, visitors notice traditional market squares and churches, while sparsely populated villages maintain agricultural traditions.
Visitors can explore the area by car or train, as it has good connections to Vienna and other regions. The infrastructure is spread out, so it helps to visit individual municipalities strategically to see specific sites.
Stockerau is the largest city in the district and is crossed by the Danube, giving it a special geographic position. This detail connects the area to an important European shipping route and makes the place notable for travelers passing through.
