The Hundsheimer Berge are a real gem for nature lovers: a charming hilly area that delights with its variety of rare plant and animal species. Botanists have been researching the Hundsheimer Berg for around 100 years. With over 1,000 recorded butterfly species, rare bats and fossil finds from the Ice Age, it is one of the most important natural areas in Austria. New species of fungi, lichens and insects are still being discovered here today.

In addition to their ecological importance, the Hundsheim mountains also offer an impressive natural experience: from the peaks, there is a wonderful view over the Danube valley, the Hainburg Gate and as far as the Carpathian Mountains - a panorama that makes every visit unforgettable.

In 1965, the Hundsheimer Berg was declared a nature reserve, and in 1989 the Council of Europe included it in the network of biogenetic reserves - a sign of its exceptional scientific and ecological value.

The Güntherhöhle and the Zwergenloch are located on the southern slope. The skeleton of the 500,000-year-old "Hundsheim Rhinoceros" was found in the Günther Cave in 1900 and can now be seen in the Natural History Museum in Vienna.
