Tips from the Community
The circular hike to the Königswarte from Berg combines scenic paths, rolling hills, and the special landscape of the Hundsheimer Bergland. Along the way, open meadows, light forests, and beautiful views of the Marchfeld and surrounding regions alternate. The observation tower on the Königswarte is the highlight of this varied tour.

From the Königswarte observation tower, the view extends far beyond the border to Bratislava. Especially in clear weather, the striking high-rises and the silhouette of the Slovak capital are clearly recognizable. An impressive panorama that shows how close the metropolises and landscapes of this border region are to each other.

First there's the headwind and the heat. Then the road is blocked!

This concrete block is not the former Berg border crossing. Rather, it was a German tank barrier that was used by Russian occupiers and (poorly) labeled. A sign next to it explains its origin. This relic was found during excavation work in Berg and set up as a memorial.
