The Andreas Maurer Bridge is a striking structure for all those traveling on the Danube Cycle Path (R1). It is not only an important traffic artery but also a strategic point for cyclists in eastern Austria. The bridge spans the Danube near Bad Deutsch-Altenburg and connects the south bank (Bruck an der Leitha district) with the north bank (near Stopfenreuth, Gänserndorf district).

A wonderful place to watch birds.

From the cycle path along the B9, a sweeping view opens up over fields toward Bratislava. The route runs mostly flat through open agricultural landscapes, allowing unobstructed vistas. Between the green fields, the silhouette of the city of Bratislava with its striking buildings can be seen in the distance. Especially in clear weather, the view appears expansive and flooded with light, and the open landscape conveys a sense of peace and space as you leisurely cycle along the cycle path.

The Götzenturm (Idol Tower) is a medieval defensive tower on the city wall of Hainburg an der Donau, built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications. Often referred to today as the "Water Tower," the building originally had nothing to do with water supply – the name was erroneously coined by locals. The tower was part of the fortifications for the city's defense and, with its solid construction, small window openings, and elevated position, offers a good overview of the Danube and the surrounding area. For cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path or passing through Hainburg's old town, the Götzenturm is a striking landmark and an impressive relic from the time when Hainburg was one of Austria's most powerful fortress towns.

Memorial to the Victims of the Iron Curtain. It is a rust-colored iron sculpture deliberately reminiscent of a broken border element – raw, angular, open. Engraved are the names and dates of those who died trying to escape from Czechoslovakia to the West. The memorial stands on the banks of the Morava River, where the heavily guarded border with the neutral zone of Austria once ran. Today, it is part of a small memorial area overlooking the Danube, Devín Castle, and the open borderland. It is a quiet place of remembrance that, with its minimalist design and raw materials, makes the pain of separation visible – while simultaneously honoring the hope for freedom.

Guided, 45-minute guided tours are available from the beginning of April to the end of October, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You will be guided through the premises by the same volunteers who have managed this facility since 2011. These tours are conducted every hour on the hour in Slovak and, upon request, in English.

Be careful, it is extremely slippery when wet.

These fortifications are not for everyone, historically yes, but also daunting.
