The Lobau is a part of the Danube floodplains that stretches along the left bank of the Danube between Vienna and the mouth of the March. It is around 22 square kilometers in size and is managed and maintained by the Forestry and Agriculture Department of the City of Vienna. The Lobau is an important habitat for many rare animal and plant species and has been a nature reserve since 1978. The Lobau is also a popular recreational area for the Viennese population and offers many opportunities for leisure activities such as hiking, cycling, swimming, and fishing.
