Excursion destination Kaisersteinbruch

Postcard from 1902

The teacher Editha Senekovitsch tried to open up sources of income for the "unemployed" community , she wrote in 1925 .. Even before the First World War , Kaisersteinbruch was the destination of many excursionists .. the cozy forest inns exerted an irresistible attraction. The houses lie gracefully from the rubble mountains of the surrounding quarries, in the middle of which is the stately double-towered church. As you get closer to the village, the four gigantic elms offer a wonderful sight, one of which has already reached a circumference of nine meters. In the village you can find houses dating from 1623, 1728 and similar dates. The beautiful house of the master stonemason Ferdinand Krukenfellner is mentioned here , in front of which there is a magnificent linden tree next to an old draw well. No railroad , no factory affects the purity of the fragrant forest air, many excursions are facilitated by the Mannersdorf bus route to Bruck an der Leitha.
