彫刻と絵画のマイスターであるアロイス・リーゲレは、その傑出した作品において、古典主義とアール・ヌーヴォーの共生を体現しています。特に注目すべきは、「子鹿を抱く少女」の彫像で、エレガンスと優雅さの印象的な表現を伝えています。フヴィエズドスラフ広場に展示されているこの彫刻は、リーゲレの技術的な腕前だけでなく、人間と動物の間の感情や関係を捉える能力も示しています。 作品の細部へのこだわりと調和のとれた構成は、人間の形と自然に対する彼の深い理解を証明しています。室内彫刻や人物彫刻に加えて、リーゲレは数多くの肖像レリーフや記念碑も制作しており、それらは対象の個性と本質を生き生きと表現しています。 しかし、リーゲレは彫刻だけでなく、壁画にもその足跡を残しました。それはプレスブルクのイエズス会教会の壮麗な聖歌隊席に見ることができます。

The renaturation of the Danube near Hainburg, particularly in the Johler Arm area, is one of the most important ecological projects in the Austrian Danube region. The goal was to return the heavily regulated Danube to its natural state and to restore valuable floodplain forest and river habitats. The Johler Arm, a former branch of the Danube near Hainburg, was reconnected to the main stream as part of the project. This reconnection ensures regular water flow through the branch, restoring dynamic river processes such as flooding, sediment relocation, and natural bank formation. As a result, many rare animal and plant species – including fish, amphibians, and waterfowl – benefit from new habitats. The project also improves ecological continuity for migratory aquatic organisms. A landscape-enhanced floodplain landscape was created along the Danube, where the natural diversity of the Danube can once again be seen and experienced – a successful example of near-natural watercourse development in the Danube Floodplains National Park.

The fountain with a double tank made of white material is decorated in the upper part with a sculpture depicting a sitting girl with a doe. The sculpture is made of reddish stone. On the north side, at the girl's foot, there is an inscription engraved: "A. Rigele 1938, R. Kuhmayer 1942". The sculpture is the work of the famous Bratislava sculptor Alojz Rigele, who, however, did not have time to finish it. After his death, another famous Bratislava sculptor, Robert Kuhmayer, completed it in 1942. The theme of the sculpture was based on a Grimm's fairy tale, and accordingly the name "Braček a sestrichka" (Little Brother and Sister) was also used. https://muop.bratislava.sk/fontana-dievca-so-srnkou/d-2391

The Güntherhöhle can be reached from the tourist trail via a steep climb in a few minutes. The path is also suitable for active dogs.

To the west of the Zwergelloch lies the most famous cave in the Hundsheim Mountains, the Güntherhöhle with the bone gap, both of which are parts of what was originally a single cave room. For reasons of cave and bat protection, the entrances had to be closed. To the south of the cave, in the so-called bone gap, fossil remains of the woolly rhinoceros were found. It entered science as the “Hundsheim rhinoceros” (Rhinoceros Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis).

A river and forest setting that pleases. In Italy similar settings are found only in high mountain landscapes. Handsome.

With a bit of luck you can see kingfishers and beavers!
