Venue
The city of Hainburg is located on the right bank of the Danube river, between Vienna and Bratislava in Lower Austria. It is only 12 km west of the Slovak capital Bratislava and 43 km east of the Austrian capital Vienna with very good traffic connections to both capitals.
The first settlement may go to the Celtic era. Later the town was part of the Roman province of Pannonia. Emperor Heinrich III. ordered around 1050 to build the castle on the Schlossberg hill. Nowadays, with its 2.5 km long city walls, three preserved gates and 15 towers from the 13th century, Hainburg has one of the oldest and best preserved city fortifications in Europe.
