The Nibelungenbrunnen (2005) on Tulln’s Nibelungenplatz depicts the scene from the medieval epic Nibelungenlied where Attila the Hun receives Kriemhild at a Danube crossing here. Always accessible; free. Tulln is 40 minutes from Vienna (Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof) by S-Bahn. The primary reason to visit Tulln is the Egon Schiele Museum (the Expressionist painter was born here in 1890); the fountain adds the Nibelungen geography layer.
