COMPETITION SITE

The “NÖ Feuerwehr- und Sicherheitszentrum” in Tulln (Lower Austria’s firefighters and safety training center) has been chosen as a venue for this event being situated around 40 kilometers west of Vienna’s city center at Langenlebarner Strasse 106, 3430 Tulln an der Donau.

THE CITY

TULLN an der Donau (Tulln on the Danube) is a historic town in the Austrian state of Lower Austria, the administrative seat of Tulln District. Because of its abundance of parks and gardens, Tulln is often referred to as Blumenstadt (“City of Flowers”).

The town is situated in the centre of the Tulln Basin stretching to the Vienna Woods in the south, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of the Austrian capital Vienna. The main part of its built-up area is located on the southern bank of the Danube river.

Tulln is one of the oldest towns in Austria. Although it was settled in pre-Roman times (the name Tulln is presumably of Celtic origin), it gained importance as the Roman fort of Comagena (Comagenis). In the final years of Roman rule, Saint Severinus of Noricum is said to have visited the city, saving it from the barbarians.

The town was first mentioned as Tullina in an 859 deed, when the area was part of the Bavarian marcha orientalis. It gained importance as a residence of the noble House of Babenberg, ruling as Austrian margraves from 976 onwards. Tulln lost its significance after the Babenbergs relocated their residence to Vienna.

On September 6, 1683, the Polish cavalry of King John III Sobieski united here with Imperial (Austrian) forces, as well as troops from Saxony, Bavaria and Baden for the Battle of Vienna against the invading army of the Ottoman Empire. The 20^th century was another period of growth, and in 1986, Tulln applied to become capital of Lower Austria, although Sankt Pölten eventually won.

An important sugar producing plant, Agrana Austria, is located in Tulln. Several important trade fairs, including camping equipment and boat shows, also take place in the town. Various state institutions of Lower Austria, such as the fire brigade or the disaster relief service, have their seat in Tulln. The Federal School of Aviation is also located in Tulln.

ON-SITE FOR DRIVERS

A limited number of single and double rooms is available on-site at the event venue. Due to the limited number of rooms, a room reservation will be only possible via the official registration website.

There is no other way of booking a room on site. You can have a look at the rooms on-site here.

GUESTS, FANS, FAMILY MEMBERS

Additional single and double rooms are available at the Hotel Römerhof and have been blocked for the event. The Hotel Römerhof is located within 10 minutes walking distance from the event venue.

BY PLANE

If you decide to arrive by airplane, the nearest airport is Vienna International Airport (VIE). From Vienna International Airport it takes about 45 minutes by train to the train station “Tullnerfeld”. We will organise a transfer service which will be operated at set times from the train station “Tullnerfeld” to the event venue in Tulln. Reservation of the transfer service will be possible with your official registration.
