Landscape Between Königsberg and Neuberg
Königsberg lies east of Enzersdorf an der Fischa and is 260 m high. Mixed woodland covers the hill; its slopes are home to vineyards growing the grape varieties commonly found in the area. From Königsberg, panoramic views stretch across the surrounding hills and the Leitha and Rosalia Mountains to the Rax and Schneeberg massif. Vienna and Vienna-Schwechat Airport are also among the sights visible from here.
Neuberg, which is 270 m high, lies southeast of Enzersdorf an der Fischa. Its landscape is characterised by species-rich Pannonian flora and dry grasslands. Neuberg is ten metres higher than Königsberg; however, the striking difference lies in the landscape: on Königsberg, mixed woodland and vineyards on the slopes combine with sweeping panoramic views, while flora and dry grasslands define Neuberg’s character. This gives you a choice of two clearly distinct natural settings without confusing their features.

Architectural History at Several Stops
The parish church of St Thomas dates back to the 12th century and features well-preserved Romanesque and Gothic elements. In 1715, it was enlarged to its present size in the Baroque style; in 1746, it was dedicated to St Thomas. These dates mark different stages: the church’s early origins, its later enlargement and its dedication.
Bartholomäus Freiherr von Tinti commissioned the Trinity Column in 1721 in gratitude that the population had been spared the plague. It was fully restored in 2019. The White Cross is a Romanesque wayside cross at the foot of Königsberg; it has a prayer bench and a holy image.
Margarethen am Moos also contributes to the architectural history of the municipal area. The parish church of St Margaret there is a late Romanesque church dating from around 1144, with a distinctive octagonal tower. The charnel house is an ossuary dating from the 13th century. Its unusual form is found only twice in Lower Austria.
