Obwohl die Landschaft in diesem Grenzgebiet durch intensiven Ackerbau geprägt ist, konnte im Schatten des Eisernen Vorhangs mit den Großtrappen einer der schwersten flugfähigen Vögel unseres Planeten überleben. Bis in die 1960er Jahre sind die größten Flieger der Erde noch als Trophäen gejagt worden. Ende der 1980er Jahre gab es nur noch 20. Nach der Grenzöffnung wurden auch mit EU-Geldern Brachflächen geschaffen, in denen sich die Männchen bei der Balz aufplustern konnten, um der Damenwelt zu gefallen. Nachdem nicht nur in Österreich, sondern auch in Ungarn und der Slowakei zahlreiche Maßnahmen umgesetzt wurden, leben hier heute über 400 Großtrappen, die von vielen Aussichtstürmen rund um Andau beobachtet werden können.
