A monument based on the mass exodus of GDR citizens via Hungary to Austria across the border line near Nickelsdorf. Symbolically, the monument represents the fall of the Iron Curtain. The number formation on top of the monument is interesting to look at.

The ice cream maker now also has a branch in Nickelsdorf. It's been well attended 😊

Unfortunately, the village inn has been closed for a few years now. The building has been renovated and is no longer a pub.

Since 2004, the monument has been a reminder of the media-wide opening of the Iron Curtain by the two foreign ministers Alois Mock and Guyla Horn on June 27, 1989. Unfortunately, there is no sign indicating the official start of the opening of the border between Nickelsdorf and Hegyeshalom on May 2, 1989.

Memorial stone 'Fall of the Iron Curtain' The memorial is located southeast of Nickelsdorf, on the Nickelsdorf - Kleylehof freight route. The artist Franz Gyolcs created an impressive, yet reduced sandstone monument, which is surrounded by four benches (also made of sandstone). On these benches there is a commemorative inscription written by Mag. Peter Limbeck. As a cross-border sign, the explanation "FLUCHT & HELP 1989" can be read in German as well as in English, Hungarian, Slovakian and French. A place that invites everyone from Nickelsdorf and those passing by to linger, rest and think.

Cyclist-friendly guest house in Nickelsdorf. I was even allowed to take my bike into the really nice, shady garden. If it's full, that probably won't be possible. Opening hours: Mon. to Sun., 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
