Wolfsthal

The municipality of Wolfsthal in the district of Bruck an der Leitha is nestled between the Danube and the wooded hills of the Königswarte and the Schafberg: surrounded by fields and vineyards, directly on the Danube cycle path and not far from the Donau-Auen National Park. With its magnificent forests and romantic hiking routes, Wolfsthal is a popular place for peaceful short breaks and beautiful excursions.

Thanks to its close location - just 4 kilometres from Bratislava city centre - Wolfsthal is also an ideal starting point for excursions to Slovakia. There is a direct bus connection to the neighbouring country.

In the historic Valley of the Wolves: moving historical facts
The village was first mentioned in a document in 1083. In the second half of the 17th century, the original Romanesque church was extended - a few decades later it became a pilgrimage church. In 1911, the Bratislava railway was built, which has had its terminus in Wolfsthal since 1955.

In 2007, the mayor of Wolfsthal was honoured for his support for the integration of citizens of Slovakian origin with the Centrope Prize, which was awarded for the first time at the time: This is awarded for outstanding, cross-border and people-connecting achievements in the greater Central European region.

Wolfsthal: Excursion destinations & leisure tips
The Königswarte is Austria's easternmost mountain. It is surrounded by the villages of Berg, Edelstal and Wolfsthal. Numerous family-friendly routes lure visitors to the family excursion mountain. And children in particular - but not only - love the fallow deer enclosure and the 22 metre-high viewing tower.
The ruins of Pottenburg Castle, built between 955 and 1025, are also well worth a visit.
