쉬운 볼프스탈 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Slovak National Uprising Bridge. It is an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 303 meters. Its steel structure hangs from cables anchored in two piers on the Petržalka side. The total length of the Danube Bridge is 430.8 meters, its width is 21 meters, and its weight is 7,537 tons.

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.

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.

Great views in all directions.

The border between the CSSR and Austria was part of the "Iron Curtain" until 1989. And as with the inner-German border, the aim here was to prevent border breaches of any kind. The border was fortified accordingly. You can see a massive barrier, anti-tank barriers and a bunker system at this point.

At least there was a way to get over the fence, but a gate would be the better solution.

Interesting ruin, currently (Jan. 23) only accessible with difficulty due to logging.

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