Ferdinand-Warte, Wooden observation tower in Bergern im Dunkelsteinerwald, Austria
The Ferdinand-Warte stands at 370 meters above sea level on a rock outcrop, offering views across the Wachau valley and Danube River.
Built in 1890 by the Austrian Tourist Club, the tower was named after Archduke Franz Ferdinand and transferred to Mautern municipality ownership in 1960.
The observation point connects visitors to the regional landscape, presenting views of vineyards, monasteries, and the medieval towns of the Wachau region.
Two trails lead to the tower: the steep Stickelsteig from Rossatzbach requiring a two-hour hike, or a shorter path from Unterbergern village.
The wooden pavilion structure rises 5 meters from its natural rocky foundation, creating an observation point that extends over the Danube's steep banks.
