Bisamberg, Mountain peak in Lower Austria, Austria
Bisamberg is a 358-metre hill in the Korneuburg district of Lower Austria, with southern spurs reaching Vienna's Floridsdorf district at Stammersdorf and Strebersdorf. It lies mostly in the municipality of Bisamberg at its north-west foot, with Langenzersdorf, Hagenbrunn and Floridsdorf also sharing its slopes. Geologically it continues the Flysch zone of the Wienerwald east of the Danube, and its western flank drops steeply to the river, forming the Wiener Pforte with the Leopoldsberg.
People settled here in ancient times, as shown by archaeological finds of Celtic settlements at this location. Human presence in the region spans thousands of years, demonstrating long-term occupation of the area.
Wine production has shaped this area for centuries, with traditional cellars showing how locals work the vineyards. The rhythm of life here follows the seasons of grape growing and harvest.
The summit is reached on foot; the marked trails climb from Bisamberg, Langenzersdorf and Stammersdorf, and the western slopes drop steeply to the Danube. Parts of the mountain are protected as a Natura 2000 site and landscape protection area, with the Alten Schanzen also a natural monument, so visitors should stay on the paths. The view reaches the Little Carpathians, the Hainburg hills and the Leitha range.
On the Bisamberg the oldest evidence of copper working in Austria was found, and a Celtic settlement once stood on the hill. From the ridge you can see as far as the Little Carpathians, the Hainburg hills and the Leitha range.
