Schwarzenaus

Schwarzenaus is a small village located in the Lower Austrian municipality of Eichgraben. It is situated in the Wienerwald, a forest region west of Vienna. The village itself is characterized by its rural setting, with scattered houses and agricultural land. Historically, the area has been settled for centuries, with evidence of agricultural activity dating back to earlier periods.

The economy of Schwarzenaus, like much of Eichgraben, has traditionally been based on agriculture and forestry. In recent times, many residents have also become commuters, traveling to work in nearby towns and cities, including Vienna. The natural environment surrounding Schwarzenaus is a significant feature, offering opportunities for recreation such as hiking and cycling.

Schwarzenaus is part of the broader cultural landscape of Lower Austria, which is known for its vineyards, rolling hills, and historical sites. While Schwarzenaus itself does not boast major tourist attractions, its proximity to larger towns and natural reserves makes it an appealing location for those seeking a quieter, more rural lifestyle while remaining connected to urban centers. The community is small and close-knit, typical of many villages in the Austrian countryside.
