ビーザンベルクの峡谷・トップ7

The wayside cross at Klausgraben stands at the edge of the path in a small patch of grass and is a typical religious wayside shrine. It consists of a wooden cross with a figure of Christ, resting on a stone base. A bench beside it invites passersby to pause for a moment. Such wayside crosses traditionally serve as places of prayer, devotion, and remembrance and remain part of religious culture to this day. Wayside and field crosses are silent symbols of Christian faith, and the reasons for their erection are manifold. They often stand at the roadside—we often walk or drive past them without noticing or actively registering the cross.

The Gspöttgraben is an idyllic forest valley on Vienna City Hiking Trail 2. The trail follows the stream through shady forests, accompanied by the rippling water and the tranquility of the Vienna Woods. A particularly atmospheric section that combines enjoyment of nature with relaxation.

The concrete-lined “Gspöttgraben” carries only a small amount of water in dry periods. After heavy rain events, it becomes a raging “mountain stream”.

The Hammerschmiedgraben is an idyllic hiking highlight, featuring a picturesque staircase along the stream of the same name. The trail leads through a tranquil gorge up to the vineyards of the Burgstall, offering a charming combination of nature and wine landscape—a worthwhile detour for anyone who appreciates quiet paths and an authentic atmosphere.

A steep descent as the finale of City Hiking Trail 2 - going in the opposite direction is very strenuous!

Short but beautiful trail. Pretty tight if you're going faster😊

The Gspöttgraben is the steep descent from Cobenzel back to Obersievering. How good that it wasn't slippery, because then we could have used it as a bobsleigh run.

The climb up is crisp!
