Ernstbrunn is home to a true gem of railway history: the heritage locomotive 93.1364. This historic steam locomotive, on display at the local station, attracts both railway enthusiasts and families. It was built in Austria in the 1920s and served for a long time on the local railways in the Weinviertel region. Despite the decommissioning of the Class 93 in 1976, some examples remained in reserve until 1982. On May 13, 2010, 93.1364 was ceremoniously installed at Ernstbrunn station after having been transported there by Ernstbrunner Kalktechnik. Weighing approximately 60 tons, it is an impressive testament to the era of steam locomotives. Visitors have the opportunity to inspect the steam locomotive and learn more about the history of railways in the region. The station also serves as the starting point for the Leiser Berge NostalgieExpress, which runs with historic steam and diesel locomotives from Vienna South Station to Ernstbrunn.

In the heart of Lower Austria, there's a truly wonderful inn that immediately appeals to you. The menu is truly interesting and offers far more than just the usual schnitzel and farmer's fare. Great emphasis is placed on quality and style here – and you can taste it! From creative starters to tempting main courses, everyone will find something to make their mouth water. The service is particularly noteworthy: You feel like you're visiting old friends! When you first walk through the lovingly designed doors, you immediately sense this warm atmosphere – and it remains the same with every visit. The ambiance, with its exposed wall paintings and tranquil garden, is an added bonus, inviting you to linger. It's simply the perfect place to enjoy delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. If you're not happy here, it's your own fault!

The Marchfeld Canal leads through the Marchfeld region, the "vegetable garden of Austria" (as the sign says), to Schloss Hof, 62.5 km away. The partially gravelled paths offer a leisurely ride without any major inclines. The Marchfeld Canal is used for irrigation, and cycling along it, you can clearly see the effort that goes into making sure the lettuce or asparagus turns out the way it should... The information boards, which are placed repeatedly along the route, provide interesting information about the region. Approximately halfway along the cycle path, there is also a dedicated information center where you can get maps, etc.
