    The Matraswarte is a 17 meter high steel observation tower on the summit of the Schöpfl, the highest point in the Vienna Woods on the municipal border between Altenmarkt an der Triesting and Brand-Laaben. This makes this observation tower the highest building in the Vienna Woods. It is located near the Schöpfl refuge.

      The Matraswarte is a 17-meter-high steel structure that adorns the summit of the Schöpfl, the highest elevation in the Vienna Woods. It stands on the border of the communities of Altenmarkt an der Triesting and Brand-Laaben and is the highest structure in the Vienna Woods. The observation tower offers a breathtaking panoramic view that stretches from Vienna's city center in the northeast to the Limestone Alps in the south. The climb to the Matraswarte is straightforward, as numerous hiking trails lead to the summit, making the place a popular destination for hikers of all ages. The panoramic view, which includes the Vienna Woods, the Alpine foothills and the Schneeberg, is a true highlight of the hike.

          A somewhat "transparent" observation tower, which is certainly no small feat for people with a fear of heights. At the top you have one of the most beautiful views the Vienna Woods offers.

              Beautiful panoramic view and a fairly easy climb.

                From the Franz Eduard Matraswarte (short: Matraswarte), which stands on the summit of the Schöpfl (893 m), you have a wonderful all-round view. This ranges from the federal capital Vienna in the north-east over large parts of the Vienna Woods in the east and the foothills of the Alps in the north to the Lower Austrian-Styrian Limestone Alps in the south and the Ötscher in the south-west. Many paths and climbs lead to the highest point of the Vienna Woods, a popular hiking destination for young and old.

                  Good 360 degree view from the Alpine foothills to the Schneeberg.
