Hiking

The Kaiserbrunn spring is located in the rear part of the Höllental valley and is one of Austria's most important drinking water sources. Since the 19th century, it has supplied the I. Wiener Hochquellenleitung (1st Viennese High Spring Pipeline) and thus provides the city of Vienna with fresh spring water. Surrounded by steep rock faces and a clear mountain landscape, it is a place steeped in history with special significance.

Hiking

In the 17th century, Charles VI discovered a spring at the foot of the Schneeberg while hunting and regularly had barrels of the precious liquid delivered to Vienna for himself. Under Emperor Franz Joseph, the first Vienna spring water pipeline was finally built to supply Vienna, and the famous spring was given the name "Kaiserbrunn".
