What was the possible route Emperor Francis Joseph I used to use when travelling from Vienna to former Pressburg? By examining historical archives we would probably uncover it. And, supposedly, it was the route we use nowadays to transport our clients on the route Bratislava – Schwechat airport or Bratislava – Vienna and back.
Which small villages do we pass on our journey to Schwechat airport? What can be seen around the route we use to get to Vienna? There are several targets we pass and you recognize them perhaps only as information boards along the highway or road.
- Wolfsthal
The first village is Wolfsthal (literally „Wolf valley“) with approximately 1000 inhabitants. A piece of interest is that the local railway that used to end in Bratislava, has its end now here. The parish church “Maria am Birnbaum” from 1737 can be considered as the dominant feature of the village.
- Hainburg an der Donau
The foundations of the small town of Hainburg an der Donau were laid down in the 11th century thanks to the construction of the castle the monumental ruins of which have been preserved to these days. The present Hainburg proudly shows off its picturesque alleys, massive medieval gates and its city walls. You can also find here a few sacral buildings – the parish church of St. James and Philip, Chapel of St. Ulrich or the Martin Luther Evangelical Church. Joseph Haydn, the music composer, has spent 2 years of his school days here. The town is part of the Donau-Auen National Park currently.
- Bad Deutch-Alternburg
Bad Deutch-Alternburg, also referred to as a market municipality, offers also some interesting memories to the tourists. Worth mentioning is the Carnuntinum museum – the largest museum of Roman history in Austria or the Romanesque-Gothic basilica „Marien Kirche“ from the 13th century. The spa Bad Deutch-Alternburg is well-known thanks to one of Europe´s strongest springs of iodine sulphur used in muscoskeletal treatment and treatment of skin problems.

Another market municipality is Petronell-Carnuntum, where the largest excavations from Roman times in Middle Europe were uncovered. The ancient roman city Carnuntum was established at the beginning of the 1st century, it was the capital city of Upper Pannonia and it had approx. 70 000 inhabitants. If you would like to dive into the atmosphere of the ancient Rome, make a stop and take a look at all the attractions that the village offers to the tourists from this period.
5. Fischamend
