A 22.7-meter-high observation tower located right next to a listening post used by the National Security Agency (NSA)—something like it seems to be unique to Austria. To be more precise, the tower, built in 2001, stands on the Königswarte near Hainburg, Austria's easternmost mountain—right on the border with Slovakia. The wooden tower offers a wonderful view that extends far beyond the former Iron Curtain and includes the Königswarte listening post operated by the Austrian Federal Army.

This concrete block is not the former Berg border crossing. Rather, it was a German tank barrier that was used by Russian occupiers and (poorly) labeled. A sign next to it explains its origin. This relic was found during excavation work in Berg and set up as a memorial.

Beautiful but steep hiking trail from the mountain to the lookout tower. It gets more difficult to get to the Pottenburg ruins. Going back uphill on other paths is almost only possible with a machete. Nevertheless, both destinations are worth the effort. A cell phone with good navigation is definitely very helpful, even though the routes and distances are not really that big.
