View from Braunsberg

Braunsberg Hainburg
Viewpoint, mountain peak

Description

The Braunsberg, together with the Thebener Kogel opposite in Slovakia, represents the Hainburg or Hungarian Gate of the Danube. The breakthrough valley near the Braunsberg is a geological link between the Alps and the Carpathians.

A road leads from Hainburg to the summit. The Braunsberg offers an excellent view of the Hundsheim Mountains, the Danube and the city of Bratislava and its surroundings, as well as far into Marchfeld. On the mountain stands the Carpathian Germans' memorial in memory of their old homeland in Slovakia.

Wide view over the Danube-Auen National Park, the March estuary and Bratislava.

Great views of Bratislava, Hainburg and the Danube.

Braunsberg Hainburg is a fantastic viewpoint with breathtaking panoramas of the Danube, the surrounding landscape, and even Bratislava in the distance. The atmosphere on the peak is truly special – you feel on top of the world. Keep in mind though, the road up is not the easiest, with a fairly steep incline in some parts, so comfortable shoes and a bit of stamina are highly recommended. Still, the effort is absolutely worth it once you reach the top!
