The pilgrimage church of Maria am Birnbaum is an impressive sight from afar, overlooking Wolfsthal. The baroque building with its distinctive towers was constructed in the early 18th century and dates back to the veneration of Mary on a pear tree. Around the church, you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views of the landscape on the Austrian-Slovak border.

The Danube near Hainburg an der Donau (Lower Austria) is one of the most fascinating and ecologically valuable sections of the entire river course. It marks the transition from the foothills of the Alps to the Pannonian Plain.
