Rreth
Fakte të shpejta: Two stone towers crown a hilltop overlooking the Danube River and Slovakian border. The 13th-century fortification once guarded the eastern edge of the Holy Roman Empire.
Pikat kryesore: Three heavy iron cannonballs from the 1683 Ottoman siege still stick out of the south tower's outer wall. Visitors can run their fingers over the impact craters, feeling the same dents left by artillery fire over 340 years ago.
Këshilla të brendshme
- Bring binoculars to spot the Devín Castle ruins across the Slovak border from the top platform.
- The narrow spiral staircase gets tight near the top, so leave backpacks at the ticket counter.
- Visit on a Tuesday morning in shoulder season to have the tower almost to yourself.
- The nearby Haydnplatz bakery sells excellent apple strudel for a post-climb reward.
