Vienna Basin - Structuring

Structuring

More than 80% of the basin area belong to the Austrian states of Lower Austria and Vienna, the northern parts on the Morava (March) and Thaya Rivers are part of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Along the southern and western rim geothermal and mineral water springs occur in several spa towns like Baden, Bad Vöslau and Bad Fischau-Brunn.

Parts:

  • Vienna Basin proper. The part within the Czech Republic is called Dolnomoravský úval (Lower Moravian Vale), whilst that within Slovakia is called Borská nížina (Bor Lowland, part of the Záhorie region)
  • Marchfeld (Moravské pole) in Lower Austria
  • Chvojnice Hills (Chvojnická pahorkatina) in Slovakia.

The Bor Lowland and Chvojnice Hills are known collectively as Záhorská nížina (Záhorie Lowland).
