Manhartsberg

Manhartsberg is a low, flat-lying mountain ridge in Lower Austria.

It rises to a maximum height of 537 m. It is the southeastern flank of the granite Bohemian massif.

The ridge runs from the Thaya river up to the Wagram mountain range and is partly overlaid with Neogene sediments, primarily clays, sands and gravels of the Vienna Basin formations.

Above the town of Maissau, rich veins of amethyst have been found in the Manhartsberg.

Next to one of the highest points on the ridge are the remains of a World War II secret radar installation, whose code name was Zangendorf 4.
