Aussichtsturm-Grenzturm

Boundless panoramic views from above!In the middle of today's municipal protected area of Mörbisch, in the Seewiesen between the reed belt and agricultural/vineyard areas, is the Mörbisch high stand. Previously, a high stand of the Austrian Federal Army stood at this location. A few years ago, this was dismantled and a new, modern viewing platform was built. Until 1989, the "Iron Curtain" represented an insurmountable border - the observation tower is considered a cornerstone of this border.You can expect: a comfortable seating area, boundless panoramic views over Lake Neusiedl, the reed belt, the nearby Hungarian village of Fertörákos, the lake foreland, vineyards, and the municipality of Mörbisch. The quickest way to reach the viewing platform is from the parking lot at the Mörbisch/Fertörákos border crossing; from there, walk straight ahead on the path in the direction of Lake Neusiedl.Enjoy the quiet atmosphere with a filled picnic basket from the Mörbisch Tourist Office.
