Danube Island North Tip - always good for a trip

With a view of Kreuzenstein Castle

A very beautiful monument with an interesting history and a fountain worth seeing. The Nibelungen Monument in Tulln on the Danube commemorates the legendary arrival of Kriemhild in Tulln, as described in the Nibelungenlied. According to legend, Kriemhild met King Etzel here before marrying him. The monument consists of a striking bronze group showing Kriemhild and Etzel. Created by the sculptor Michail Nogin, it was unveiled in 2005 and is located near the banks of the Danube, not far from the boat dock. It is part of the tourist Nibelungen theme route, which runs through several places along the Danube. In the Nibelungenlied, a Middle High German heroic epic from the 13th century, Kriemhild travels east after the murder of her first husband Siegfried of Worms. In Tulln she meets King Etzel (Attila, ruler of the Huns), whom she later marries to complete her revenge on the Burgundians. This section of the saga underlines the historical influence of the Huns on Central European history.

The Nibelung Monument in Tulln, also known as the Nibelung Fountain, commemorates a scene from the medieval epic "Nibelungenlied": the festive reception of the Burgundian princess Kriemhild by the Hunnic king Etzel in Tulln. The monument features life-size bronze figures of the central characters of this scene, including Kriemhild with her retinue and Etzel with his companions, symbolically complemented by a child as a sign of their future union. Beneath the figures is an artfully designed fountain, whose jets appear to rise from an open book, the Nibelungenlied itself. The interplay of water and light creates a unique atmosphere that symbolizes the connection between East and West. The monument was inaugurated in 2005, and the surrounding square, Nibelungenplatz, was redesigned as an inviting public space. The Nibelung Monument blends medieval legend with contemporary art and stands as an impressive testament to history, legend, and urban design.

This is where the distribution of water between the river and the New Danube is regulated in the event of flooding.

It's an incredibly nice feeling to be at the top and there is an Eskimo Point for children (and of course for us adults ;-)...).

... there is often an ice cream stand here!

If you ask the Viennese about the highest elevation in Vienna, many answer with "the Kahlenberg". No, it's not like that! Not the Kahlenberg with an altitude of 484 meters is the highest point in the city of Vienna, but the Hermannskogel. It towers 58 m above the Kahlenberg and is 542 meters above sea level! On the Hermannskogel there is a rather unknown vantage point, but on closer inspection it is very impressively enthroned on the summit of the Hermannskogel. It's the Habsburg Warden. It was built in the form of a medieval defense tower in 1888 and, including the spire, rises 27 meters into the sky. If you stand in front of her and look up at her, you feel transported to the Middle Ages for a moment. On the viewing platform of the round tower at 16.7 meters is the fundamental point of the Austrian national survey, which was determined in 1892 by the Imperial and Royal Military Geographical Institute.
