!!!Hundsheimer Berge

Hundsheimer Berge Hills (Hainburg Hills), Lower Austria, forested 
island mountain range in the extreme east of Lower Austria; 
geologically they form part of the Western Carpathians and extend from 
the bank of the River Danube near Hainburg to northern Burgenland. 
Partly composed of mica schist and granite gneiss and of limestone, 
fractured, on the surface (highest point 480 m) levelled to a 
wavy torso plain, separated from the Western Carpathians by the 
Hainburg Gap (breakthrough of the River Danube) and from the 
Leithagebirge mountains by the Bruck Gate (with the River Leitha). The 
limestone hillsides are partly covered with shrubs and partly barren, 
limestone quarries supply road metal. To the southwest lies the 
Spitzerberg hill (293 m) with its gliding airfield.
