The Braunsberg, together with the Thebener Kogel on the opposite side in Slovakia, represents the Hainburg or Hungarian Gate of the Danube River. The valley near Braunsberg is a geological link between the Alps and the Carpathians.
A road leads from Hainburg to the summit. The Braunsberg offers an excellent view of the Hundsheimer mountains, the Danube and the city of Bratislava and its surroundings, as well as far into the Marchfeld. On the mountain stands the memorial of the Carpathian Germans in memory of their old homeland in Slovakia.
Wide view over the Danube Floodplain National Park, the mouth of the Morava River to Bratislava.
Nature reserve - Braunsberg is also an archaeologically significant site. The Celts built a powerful settlement on the plateau, which was protected by a palisade fence (2nd century BC). A small part of the palisade and a watchtower have been reconstructed.
