Tulln Basin

The Tulln Basin (German: Tullnerfeld) is a sedimentary basin north to the Eastern Alps, thrown up by the river Danube.

Geography[]

The fairly level area is a fertile alluvial plain and has the shape of a spindle, over an area of 48 km (30 mi) by 14 km (8.7 mi). The Danube enters the basin at Krems an der Donau and it leaves at Korneuburg.^[1] The basin is a settled ground filled with and rubbly deposits of the Danube and other rivers of the Alpine Foreland. Its fertile terraces are farmed with wheat, maize, potatoes and sugar beet.
