The 30-meter-high wooden viewing platform is still beautiful. It offers a fantastic view over the Wirnerwald forest and Vienna.

The Troppberg is a 542 m high mountain in the northern Vienna Woods. It is located in the Lower Austrian market towns of Gablitz and Tullnerbach. Howdy, I visited this mountain as part of my dwarf mountain tour series: My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods -> https://www.komoot.de/collection/2517195/-zwergbergtouren-im-wienerwald

A very beautiful monument with an interesting history and a fountain worth seeing. The Nibelungen Monument in Tulln on the Danube commemorates the legendary arrival of Kriemhild in Tulln, as described in the Nibelungenlied. According to legend, Kriemhild met King Etzel here before marrying him. The monument consists of a striking bronze group showing Kriemhild and Etzel. Created by the sculptor Michail Nogin, it was unveiled in 2005 and is located near the banks of the Danube, not far from the boat dock. It is part of the tourist Nibelungen theme route, which runs through several places along the Danube. In the Nibelungenlied, a Middle High German heroic epic from the 13th century, Kriemhild travels east after the murder of her first husband Siegfried of Worms. In Tulln she meets King Etzel (Attila, ruler of the Huns), whom she later marries to complete her revenge on the Burgundians. This section of the saga underlines the historical influence of the Huns on Central European history.

If you are nearby, you should definitely climb up to the lookout to enjoy the fantastic panoramic view. The lookout is not only a viewing point, but also an important radio facility used by various organizations. It is a joint project of the communities of Gablitz, Purkersdorf and Tullnerbach and is accessible all year round. I visited this mountain as part of my Dwarf Mountain Tours series. My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods. Find my tours here: https://www.komoot.de/collection/2517195/-zwergbergtouren-im-wienerwald

Very high observation tower with a beautiful view that you should definitely visit. There is also a lower control room from the 19th century, where you can shelter in a small room at the top when it rains. The control room on the other side, from the 1960s, has already been demolished. All that remains here is the base as a witness that it once existed.
