December 15, 2018 - The eyeglasses are the remains of an artificial ruin from the romantic era. A great place to relax or have a picnic. Wonderful view of Mödling, the aqueduct of the 1st Viennese water pipeline and the Anninger. 😊👍👍

My mother lived in Mödling when she was a young girl. At that time one only said: Die Brüün (glasses). The locals still call them that today. They were renamed to eyeglasses only for the tourists.

Just a stone's throw from the Black Tower is another artificial ruin that is reminiscent of a giant's glasses. The so-called eye glasses also go back to Prince Johann I. A look through the two pointed arches opens up a beautiful view of the Vienna Basin, Mödling and the mighty aqueduct of the First Vienna High Spring Water Pipeline. From the »Black Tower« we now follow the signs to the Pfefferbüchsel ruins.
