Access
You can park at the north of the town of Petronell Carnuntum. Click on the P in the map for directions. You can also travel there by bus from the town centre or by train from Vienna. A circular trail is possible by walking to Bad-Deutsch Altenberg, but this is quite long. Do not attempt to visit the riverside at high water levels, as the paths can flood.
