The observation tower, which was ceremoniously reopened in 2021, is the landmark of the Anninger and sits enthroned on the Eschenkogel. In 1878, the Mödling Nature Friends Association, the "Verein 1877", built a wooden observation platform. Almost 20 years later, the then so-called "Sofienwarte" was replaced by a 16 m high iron observation tower on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the government. Thanks to the "Verein 1877" (which still exists today) and the surrounding communities, the observation tower was renovated for the 100th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef I and replaced with a new 20 m high solid iron structure with a dizzying and impressive viewing platform and was ceremoniously opened in 2021. The Kaiser-Jubiläumswarte on the Eschenkogel is the landmark of the Anninger and impresses with a breathtaking view from the south/west of Vienna and the Vienna Basin.

Great place for a short rest.

The Matterhörndl is a small but impressive rock in the Vienna Woods that is perfect for a short rest. It is a little hidden away from the main path and easy to miss, but it is worth the visit. With a small opening through and the opportunity to climb around a bit, it is a mystical place for photographers, children and nature lovers. I visited this mountain as part of my Dwarf Mountain Tours series. My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods.

Just a few steps from the Anningerhaus is the Jubiläumswarte, which offers an impressive panoramic view - a real highlight, especially in clear weather. The 20-meter-high observation tower, newly built in 2021, offers spectacular views of Vienna, the Vienna Woods and as far as the Schneeberg. A short detour is worthwhile for every visitor who wants to enjoy the vastness of the landscape. I visited this mountain as part of my Dwarf Mountain Tours series (ZBT#8).

The Triesting - Schwechat estuary is the place where the Triesting flows into the Schwechat. The Triesting is a river in the southeastern Vienna Woods, which rises near Kaumberg and is 60 km long. The Schwechat is a tributary of the Danube that rises near Schottwien and is 62 km long. The estuary is near Achau in the Mödling district and is a popular resting place for cyclists. You can reach the estuary on various cycle paths, for example from Wiener Neudorf or from Wien Meidling. The area is very rich in water and also offers other highlights such as the Laxenburg Palace Park or the Kaiser Franz Joseph Park.

The Triesting is a river in the southeastern Vienna Woods, which flows into the Schwechat near Achau. The Schwechat is a tributary of the Danube that rises in the Vienna Alps. The Triesting is 60 km long and has a catchment area of 388 km². The Schwechat is 62 km long and has a catchment area of 678 km². The mouth of the Triesting in the Schwechat is a bike highlight that you can reach on various bike paths. There is a cycle and footpath along the flood protection wall, which can also be used as a viewing platform. You can take a nice break here and enjoy nature. You can also observe the water that divides here: the Schwechat continues to flow as the Mitterbach and the Schwechat-Werksbach, which only reunite in Schwechat. I hope this information was helpful to you. If you want to learn more about the Triesting or the Schwechat, you can also have a look at the Wikipedia pages. There you will also find information about the history, culture and sights along the rivers. Or you look at some bike tours that lead you to beautiful places like Berndorf, Laxenburg or Lanzendorf Castle.

The confluence of the Triesting and the Schwechat is an interesting place where several rivers and streams meet. The Triesting is a river in the south-eastern Vienna Woods, which flows into the Schwechat near Achau. The Schwechat has two rivers, the Mitterbach and the Schwechat-Werksbach, which only reunite in Schwechat itself. At the mouth of the Triesting, the Mödlingbach and the Krottenbach also flow into the old Schwechatlauf coming from Laxenburg. The estuary is a popular destination for bike tours and offers a nice rest area with the opportunity to swim.

10/02/2022 - Near the former Rauheneck Castle, which together with the Rauhenstein controlled the entrance to the picturesque Helenental near Baden, lies the bizarre royal cave, which was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age (2200 to 1800 BC). Archaeological excavations made such important finds that the entire period is called the "Baden culture". The presence of humans in the La Tène and Hallstatt periods has also been proven; individual finds date from Roman times and the Middle Ages. Just listing the scientific publications about the cave fills a whole book page. It is not surprising that there are many legends about the cave. King Bela IV of Hungary is said to have sought refuge there, and there are also reports of evil dwarves and wild people. Here and there, the royal cave still serves as a bivouac site, as some traces in the natural monument show.
