Junior Ranger Programme

At the annual summer week, adventure awaits us in the heart of the national park - here the Junior Rangers cannot only explore the Danube wetlands and their inhabitants, but also do nature conservation work with the national park rangers.

But also during the year they meet often and do interesting things. At the age of 18 the Junior Rangers become Danube Rookies with their own focus and tasks.

The way to becoming a Junior Ranger

Would you like to experience the Danube wetlands in summer? Would you like to meet new friends and take care of nature conservation together? Would you rather spend your time outdoors? Then sign up and become a Junior Ranger in the Donau-Auen National Park!

The introductory summer week takes place at the National Park Camp in Eckartsau - in the middle of the Donau-Auen National Park. You will receive a Junior Ranger shirt and sleep in tents. You will discover the national park with all its special features. You go on excursions in the wetlands to get to know the animals and plants, you learn about conservation projects. But above all, you do practical work and thus contribute to the preservation of the habitats in the protected area!

In the evening you enjoy the campfire. The laboratory in the camp is also available for exciting research. Experienced National Park Rangers accompany you around the clock.

At the end of the camp you will receive your certificate, and in the future you get regular information about the dates and activities of the Donau-Auen Junior Rangers! An annual follow-up summer week is also offered.
