DIE GARTEN TULLN is the first ecological garden exhibition in Europe, featuring over 70 demonstration gardens designed without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or peat. The site spans approximately 50 hectares and includes a 30-meter high treetop path that provides a panoramic view of the Danube river landscape. Visitors can explore various garden styles ranging from traditional monastic layouts to modern, minimalist designs. The facility functions as a research center for ecological horticulture and landscape design in Lower Austria. The grounds are divided into distinct zones, including the 'Gardening without Poison' area and various themed garden rooms. A central lake serves as a focal point for the landscaping and local biodiversity efforts. The park is integrated into the surrounding riparian forest of the Danube, acting as a transition zone between cultivated gardens and natural vegetation.
