Rohrau: VK_A04_037,050-V0-FL
Built around a crossing of the Leitha River, Rohrau grew into a Lower Austrian market town on the transport corridor between Vienna and the Hungarian border. The municipality lies east of Vienna, near the Marchfeld plains and the A4 Ost Autobahn, one of Austria’s principal eastbound roads. Rohrau is best known as the birthplace of composer Joseph Haydn, who was born here in 1732; his childhood home is preserved as the Haydn Geburtshaus. Schloss Rohrau, long associated with the Harrach family, is another established landmark. Compact in scale, Rohrau connects rural communities in the Leitha valley with the Vienna–Budapest transport axis.

The village also contains Schloss Rohrau, associated with the Harrach family and its important collection of European paintings.

Lower Austria is best known within Austria for the Wachau, the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape along the Danube. Austria’s largest federal state extends from the Bohemian Massif in the north to the limestone Alps around Rax and Schneeberg in the south, with vineyards, forests and agricultural districts between them. St. Pölten is the provincial capital, while Melk Abbey rises above the Danube as one of the country’s foremost Baroque monuments. Vienna is a separate federal state, though it is enclosed by Lower Austria. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on the Wachau and Lower Austria.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
