This is the summit of the Gföhlberg.

Detour to drink spring water

The Schöpfl-Schutzhaus has been run by Auguste Rosenberger since January 2024. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but is open from sunrise to sunset on all other days. Guests can look forward to a cozy atmosphere and a good selection of food.

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 very demanding route

The Schöpfl, as the highest mountain in the Vienna Woods, offers an ideal combination of nature experience and impressive views. The climb to the Matraswarte is particularly worthwhile, from which a spectacular 360° panorama stretches - from Vienna across the Tullnerfeld to the Schneeberg and Ötscher. After the hike, the Schöpflhütte invites you to stop for a cozy break. The well-marked paths make the climb a pleasant experience, even for less experienced hikers. A detour to the Mitterschöpfl and the Leopold Figl Observatory rounds off the tour with beautiful natural impressions.

"Rest at the spring" is engraved on the back of the wooden bench and there is indeed a spring with a drinking cup right next to it.

Despite the large number of visitors at Schöpfl - Whit Monday is always a mountain service, so you can make a note of that - we didn't have to wait particularly long for our food. The team around Gusti and Paul works very well together and the food tasted excellent.
