    Schlossberg castle ruins – the Heimenburg
    The still imposing remains of the medieval Heimenburg am Schlossberg, built in 1050, are a popular destination. From the top you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of Hainburg, the Donau-Auen National Park and Bratislava. The castle complex consists of the castle gate, the castle courtyard, the Pankratius chapel, the palace and the residential tower. The wedding of Ottokar of Bohemia and Margaret of Austria took place in the castle chapel in 1252. Three footpaths lead to the facility, which is located in the middle of the city. From the parking lot at the Hummelstraße sports field, the steep cart path but also the comfortable hiking trail and the serpentine path from the Ungartor via the parade ground lead up to the castle.

        📷 July 12th, 2017 - laying of the foundation stone in 1050, then owned by the Babenbergs and the Habsburgs. Great views in all directions from the ruins. 😊👍
