The "city" boasts a new shopping mall, the Rosenarcade, cosmopolitan restaurants, museums, a garden show and plenty of leisure activities. The Römerhof is roughly a 16–20 minute drive to us.

Zwentendorf an der Donau

Zwentendorf Camping Site (Campingplatz Zwentendorf) (14km/8.7m)

Open Apr–Oct. Rate: Adults €4.85 p/n plus for tents, €2.10 p/n or caravans, €6.40 p/n
With room for 60 tents and 6 caravans, this council-run site has hot/cold water, showers, bbq facilities and a breakfast service making it a cheap, popular choice with the numerous cyclists travelling the Dounauradroute (the Danube Cycle Route), so be sure to book in advance. The town centre is only a five minute walk away, where you'll find supermarkets, a bakery, a Heuriger, a Gasthof, banks, tobacconist and a pub.

The camp site's idyllic setting near the Danube river belies Zwentendorf's energy and chemical industrial base which was once considered an ideal location for Austria's first atomic power plant in the 1980's. Luckily, the people of Austria (narrowly) voted against the idea and now the built-but-never-commissioned plant is slated to become a model eco-energy enterprise producing electricity. Worth a visit, and only a 10 minute walk up the Donauradweg from the camping site is the Bärenhütte (the Bear Hut). This delightful, old Alpine hut was painstaking dismantled and reconstructed on its new site, curiously facing the Danube and in the shadow of the old atomic plant. Good beer, wine and basic but good fare. But I digress!

From the camp site to us is a 20 minute drive to us.
