Braunsberg Hainburg is a fantastic viewpoint with breathtaking panoramas of the Danube, the surrounding landscape, and even Bratislava in the distance. The atmosphere on the peak is truly special – you feel on top of the world. Keep in mind though, the road up is not the easiest, with a fairly steep incline in some parts, so comfortable shoes and a bit of stamina are highly recommended. Still, the effort is absolutely worth it once you reach the top!

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.

Beautiful views, especially to the west. The summit cross is right next to the Hundsheimer Hut (480 m).

Very expansive views into both Austria (Auwald forest in Lower Austria, flatlands in Burgenland) and Slovakia (Bratislava, Little Carpathians). It's worth walking or biking up there. There's a fee of 4 for cars/motorcycles :-(( - unwise decision by the municipality of Hainburg.
