Wiener Pforte, Water gap in Lower Austria, Austria
The Wiener Pforte forms a natural passage where the Danube River flows between the Vienna Woods and the Bisamberg Hills in Lower Austria.
This geological formation developed between 500,000 and 150,000 years ago when the Danube River eroded through rising rocks during the Vienna Woods uplift.
The water gap region contains numerous hiking paths where visitors learn about local geological processes through educational signs and guided nature walks.
Water level measurements at the Wiener Pforte are recorded every fifteen minutes, providing essential data for river navigation and flood monitoring systems.
The formation connects two distinct geological regions, with Leopoldsberg reaching 425 meters on one side and Bisamberg peak at 359 meters on the other.
