Hiking

At the top of the Gaisberg, a two-storied artillery fortification with handling and loopholes was erected in the 15th century. The Gaisberg has always been one of the strategic checkpoints along the traffic route between Vienna and Brno, and together with other facilities, it provided security for the city. The tower is open to the public and offers great views of Mikulov and its surroundings.

Hiking

The tower was built in the 15th century by the lords of Liechtenstein to monitor the trade route leading from Vienna to Brno, to increase the defensive capabilities of Nikolsburg and to protect the city of Nikolsburg.

It's worth driving up here. From the tower there is a great view of the Mikulov Castle and the Holy Hill of Mikulov.
