    Hiking

    Wonderful vantage point, the view extends from the Carpathians over the Vienna Basin to the Gutenstein Alps.

    "Königswarte" is the name of Austria's easternmost mountain (344 m). Atop the Königswarte, there is an observation tower with a beautiful view of Bratislava, Hainburg, and the border triangle (Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary).

    Immediately next to it is a listening device (now a telecommunications reconnaissance device) built during the Cold War to spy on the "Eastern Bloc." The device is still in operation.

    Legal access from Wolfsthal, but bicycles are prohibited from Berg.

    (Considering its size, Berg is the town with the most bicycle bans in Austria—that's my impression.)

    Hiking

    At the easternmost mountain peak in Austria.
    Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of Pressburg, Thebener Kogel, the Hundsheimer Mountains and the Kittsee plain from the observation tower.
