Donauwarte Krems, Observation tower in Krems, Austria
The Donauwarte tower stands 14 meters tall on Braunsdorfer Mountain at 450 meters above sea level, featuring a viewing platform at 6.3 meters height.
Built by the Austrian Tourist Club and inaugurated on July 6, 1884, the tower underwent multiple renovations, including a complete restoration in 1989 by the Technical School of Krems.
The tower serves as a central point along the Lower Austrian Mariazeller Path and the Great Tullnerfeld Circular Hiking Trail, connecting regional walking routes.
Visitors can access the tower from March to October during weekends and holidays, with a suggested donation of 50 cents for maintenance purposes.
From the observation deck, visitors see Krems city, Göttweig Abbey across the Danube, and the expansive Tulln Basin stretching into the distance.
