Hiking

The Nikolaitor is a popular entrance to the Lainz Tiergarten and is just a few minutes' walk from the Hütteldorf U4 station. From here, access opens to a vast natural paradise with ancient forests, rolling meadows, and a diverse range of wildlife. The approximately one-hour nature trail, which leads past the historic St. Nicholas Chapel and the idyllic Grünauer Pond, is particularly worthwhile. Families, walkers, and nature lovers will find an ideal combination of relaxation, education, and exercise here – in the heart of the Vienna Woods, yet close to the city.
