The museum tower, often associated with the Landseer Berge Nature Park, is actually located just on the border in Schwarzenbach, Lower Austria, but directly shapes the excursion experience of the adjacent Oberpullendorf region. The structure functions as a barrier-free observation tower and offers a fantastic view from its platform over the surrounding bay to the Schneeberg. Located directly next to the archaeological Celtic village, it also houses exciting archaeological finds from earlier eras.

The Mattersburg Cemetery, where approximately 1,500 people are buried, has existed since 1694 and is an important testament to Jewish life in the region. During the Nazi era, almost all gravestones were removed, leaving a painful gap in the history of the Jewish community. After 1945, a memorial wall was erected from the surviving gravestone fragments, commemorating the lost graves. Later, symbolic gravestones supplemented this reminder. The Jewish Museum in Eisenstadt has created a register of individuals buried in the cemetery, offering valuable insights into the people interred there. The cemetery is currently locked, but the key can be obtained from the municipality. Guided tours are offered by appointment, gently familiarizing visitors with the history and significance of this sacred site. The Mattersburg Cemetery stands as a silent monument to the region's Jewish history and cultural heritage.

In September 1532, a Turkish army was decisively defeated near Enzesfeld-Fischau. Light Turkish horsemen (Akıncıs) were scattered into the Pittental valley. They are said to have been chased by enraged peasants over the rocks near Gleißenfeld and driven to their deaths - the "Türkensturz" (Turk's Fall). To commemorate this, Prince von und zu Liechtenstein had an artificial ruin erected here in 1824/25.
