“Is it always something special for you?” asks presenter Werner Schmidbauer as he and Munich priest Rainer Maria Schießler reach the summit cross crowning the mountain in an episode of the Bavarian Television series “Summit Meeting.” I would like to offer his short but poignant answer to all who pause before this small sacred monument for reflection: “For me, the cross has always been a symbol of encouragement, of hope, of new beginnings, of life. That’s how my parents taught it to me…”

A stunning viewpoint with an ascent and descent for experienced hikers! Fantastic views over the Wachau Valley from a height of 712 meters.

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.

Ascent only for experienced climbers! Or rather, the descent. Getting up the via ferrata, secured with ladders and ropes, is manageable, but going down can be a bit tricky if you're not very experienced with climbing. The view, however, is breathtaking!

The Troppberg is a 542 m high mountain in the northern Vienna Woods. It is located in the Lower Austrian market towns of Gablitz and Tullnerbach. Howdy, I visited this mountain as part of my dwarf mountain tour series: My goal is to climb every mountain in the Vienna Woods -> https://www.komoot.de/collection/2517195/-zwergbergtouren-im-wienerwald

A very beautiful monument with an interesting history and a fountain worth seeing. The Nibelungen Monument in Tulln on the Danube commemorates the legendary arrival of Kriemhild in Tulln, as described in the Nibelungenlied. According to legend, Kriemhild met King Etzel here before marrying him. The monument consists of a striking bronze group showing Kriemhild and Etzel. Created by the sculptor Michail Nogin, it was unveiled in 2005 and is located near the banks of the Danube, not far from the boat dock. It is part of the tourist Nibelungen theme route, which runs through several places along the Danube. In the Nibelungenlied, a Middle High German heroic epic from the 13th century, Kriemhild travels east after the murder of her first husband Siegfried of Worms. In Tulln she meets King Etzel (Attila, ruler of the Huns), whom she later marries to complete her revenge on the Burgundians. This section of the saga underlines the historical influence of the Huns on Central European history.

It is a beautiful panorama that you can experience here.

Nice place to jump into the water, well paved, but very narrow in places. Drive carefully!
