Around Baden: the Wilhelmswarte (5 km, 1887, 675 m) and the Sina-Warte itself (7 km). Out west, the Jauerling-Aussichtswarte sits at 959 m, 26 km from St. Pölten; near Mödling, the Neue Kaiser Jubiläums-Warte went up in 2021 at 653 m.
Only 15 of the 61 observation towers RLQuest knows in Lower Austria have a Wikipedia article. Elevations run from 351 m at the Kamptalwarte to 959 m on the Jauerling.
