... and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Because of the stricter COVID-19 regulations, Schallaburg will be closed between 1 April and 2 May 2021.
The Exhibition invites you to take an inspiring journey upriver: From the Black Sea through the narrow gorges of the Iron Gate, past the vast plains of Hungary through the picturesque Wachau to the Schallaburg.
The Danube began to carve out its route millions of years ago. Today, it is the second longest river in Europe. Like no other river the Danube stands for the diversity of the European continent and its eventful history. People have been present on its banks and used it for their purposes for thousands of years. Impressive cultures were already emerging along the river in the Neolithic Age. Romans used the river as a border for their mighty empire, and the Habsburgs as the lifeline of their empire, which was called “Danubian Monarchy” for a reason.
Like every trip, this one provides countless impressions. On the way from the Black Sea to Schallaburg Castle these impressions merge into the colourful mosaic that still characterises the Danube region today.
If you don’t want to take the exhibition trip upriver on your own, why not take a guided tour with our cultural education team on a journey that could not be more enjoyable and rich in contrast. The trip offers interesting background stories about the objects, provides food for thought and encourages mixing and mingling.
Family Programme
Which city do the swans Pavol and Paul find particularly beautiful? What can Dino, the absentminded Danube newt, tell us about the flora and fauna?
Our animal residents on the Danube make the stories of their river accessible to the whole family, reveal the secrets of so many treasures, and have many legends to tell.
