Lobau, Biosphere reserve in Donau-Auen National Park, Vienna, Austria.
The Lobau extends over 2,300 hectares of wetlands, forests, and water bodies along the northern bank of the Danube River.
Until 1745, the Lobau served as imperial hunting grounds before becoming a protected area in 1905 and joining the Donau-Auen National Park in 1996.
The name Lobau originates from the Old High German word 'Lo', meaning dense forest, reflecting the area's strong connection to Austrian natural heritage.
Visitors can access numerous walking trails, cycling paths, and designated swimming areas throughout the Upper Lobau section of the reserve.
The reserve contains rare dry soil formations called Heißländen, where gravel banks create savanna-like environments within the wetland ecosystem.
