Getting There & Around
Several regional and S-Bahn trains each hour connect Tulln with Vienna's Franz-Josefs-
Bahnhof (€7.80, 30 to 45 minutes) and hourly trains go to Krems (€10, 35 minutes).
Tulln and its tourist office are well set up for cyclists, as the Danube cycleway runs
alongside the river on the town's northern border. Tulln has numerous Leihradl stations
where you can hire a bicycle.

Waldviertel & Weinviertel
Forming a broad swath across Lower Austria north of the Danube, the undervisited Wald-
viertel (Woods Quarter) begins near Krems and the Kamptal in the east (the latter borders
the largely agricultural and winemaking region, the Weinviertel or 'Wine Quarter') and
ends at the Czech border in the north and west. The Waldviertel is a picturesque region of
rolling hills and rural villages, and while there isn't actually much forest to speak of,
there are a number of fine attractions and retreats. The Kamptal in particular is a great
place for escaping the tourist crowds.
