Wolfsthal

The municipality of Wolfsthal in the district of Bruck an der Leitha is nestled between the Danube and the wooded hills of the Königswarte and Schafberg: surrounded by fields and vineyards, directly on the Danube cycle path and not far from the Donau-Auen National Park. With its beautiful forests and romantic hiking routes, Wolfsthal is a popular place for quiet getaways and beautiful excursions.

Thanks to its close location - just 4 kilometers from Bratislava city center - Wolfsthal is also an ideal starting point for excursions to Slovakia. There is a direct bus connection to the neighboring country.

Wolfsthal: Excursion destinations & leisure tips
The Königswarte is Austria's easternmost mountain. It is surrounded by the villages of Berg, Edelstal and Wolfsthal. Numerous family-friendly routes lure visitors to the family-friendly excursion mountain. And children in particular - but not only - love the fallow deer enclosure and the 22-metre-high viewing tower.
The ruins of Pottenburg Castle, built between 955 and 1025, are also well worth a visit.
