It does not require an excessive amount of time and offers the hiker rich impressions. Additionally, one can admire an oversized replica of the world-famous "Venus of Willendorf," right at the spot where on August 7, 1908, during work on the Danube shore railway, the only 11 cm tall limestone statuette of a voluptuous female figure from the Neolithic era was found.
