    A somewhat "antique" but promising platform on a mountain, which usually lives up to its name.

      Only for climbers and vertigo-free!

        At 484 m, the Sonnenberg is the highest mountain in the Leithagebirge. At the summit of the Sonnenberg is the Sonnenbergwarte, a border watchtower built during the Cold War and transferred here after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Today this 15 meter high metal tower can be climbed as a viewing tower and allows a panoramic view, in good weather until the change. But you should climb up without a backpack, as it is very narrow.
