Embedded into the gently rolling hills of the Weinviertel, the market municipality Gaweinstal, originally called "Gaunersdorf", lies. With the village parts Gaweinstal, Atzelsdorf, Höbersbrunn, Martinsdorf, Pellendorf and Schrick, the community covers an area of 52 km² with a bit more than 4.000 people (including second residences) living there.
