Geography of Vienna
    
Lower Austria, the largest out of nine Austrian lands, has 1.5 million inhabitants,
covers a territory of 19,173kms and encompasses the federal Austrian capital.
It's divided into cities - each with their own statute: Krems, St Pölten,
Waidhofen/Ybbs and Wiener Neustadt. It also contains 21 administration districts
and 571 villages. In 1986 St Pölten became capital of Lower Austria.
Lower Austria borders the Czech Republic in the north, Slovakia in the east,
the Burgenland in the southeast and Styria in the south. Upper Austria is towards
the west. The river Danube splits the land into two equal parts from west to
east. The hilly Waldviertel region is in the north; while the Weinviertel region
is in the east. The Waldviertel, named for its rich forests, rises up to a high
plateau reaching almost 1,000m in altitude.
The Manhartsberg Mountain divides the country into the Weinviertel and Waldviertel
regions. Wine growing is popular in the wide valleys and on loess ground. Also,
the Wachau region, located in the picturesque Donau valley between Melk and
Krems, is well known for its excellent wines. East of Vienna between the rivers
Danube and March, the Marchfeld region is the largest plain in Austria and is
used to grow grain and sugar beet.
South of the river Danube is the Mostviertel region that reaches up to the
alpine foothills, towards the Erlauf/Pielach/Traisental valleys. In the east,
the Wienerwald forest is a typical greenbelt recreation area for the Viennese.
The very south of Lower Austria is marked by the Calcareous Alps with the Ötscher,
Rax and Schneealpe mountains.
