Leopoldsberg, Vienna, Austria

At Heiligenstadt train station you'll be faced with Karl Marx Hof, an aptly named brutalist style building.
Looking down at Vienna from Leopoldberg. The river is of course the Danube, with the Old and New Danube rivers on each side of the Donauinsel ("Danube Island"). The Leopoldberg was the site of the Battle of Vienna, where the Holy League routed the forces of the Ottoman Empire in 1683.
On top of the Leopoldberg is this memorial to Austrian prisoners of war from the second world war.
View down toward Vienna from the memorial.
