Hainburg (Schlossberg)
Austria
You climb above Hainburg an der Donau to reach what is left of the Heimenburg, a hilltop castle now standing as a ruin over the town in Lower Austria. The name, by legend, comes from Heimo, cup-bearer to Arnulf of Carinthia, who is said to have been charged with building a church and a castle. That first castle, the story goes, did not stand here at all but in what is now Bad Deutsch-Altenburg. Treat the Heimo tale as exactly that, a legend; the source offers it as tradition, not record.
