The hill that closes Hainburg to the east drops in rock to the Danube. At the top is an open meadow with the best view in the area: the river, the Marchfeld plain and, on the other side, Bratislava. You climb on foot from the north of the village on signposted paths; allow an hour and a half round trip, with some slope. It is a good end to the day after Carnuntum.
