It was – and still is – the power of water that has shaped the land around Göstling for centuries: Water sculpted the mountains, valleys, and gorges, allowed the wood so important for iron processing to grow, powered the wheels of mills and hammer mills – and enabled the transport of felled tree trunks

The original building dates back to the 12th century. In 1720, the Neapolitan Counts Stella acquired the complex, followed by

The Laab area was settled early compared to the surrounding towns. Due to its convenient proximity to Vienna, it was a favorite hunting ground, first of the Babenbergs, later of the Habsburgs. Due to the growing demand for firewood, woodworkers and charcoal burners settled here and lived in so-called

The highlight of our tour around Weißenbach an der Triesting was Neuhaus Castle on the first part of the path. The nucleus of the castle was a fortified house from the 13th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the castle was remodeled and the church of St. Nepomuk was built in the castle. As

The name Reidling is of Slavic origin and comes from Rudinica (which means ore-colored, iron-rich stream) from the 7th or 8th century. The first written mention was in 1125. In a document from the monastery of Saint Florian, a Sigahart de Sicinberch (Sitzenberg) is mentioned. He was probably the namesake

The hike to the Hiesbergwarte on the Hiesberg near Senftenberg is not particularly long, but the climb is very demanding, with around 180 meters of elevation gain on just one kilometer of hiking trail, and surefootedness is also required on the narrow path. The effort is worth it, the view is magnificent

A replacement tour, because we wanted to go to the Schlögener Donauschlinge. As had happened several times before, we missed the bus due to a delay on the Westbahn. But the alternative worked out; a beautiful and scenic hike in the Linz area took us to the Pfenningberg. The weather could have been better, but we still had fun.

Once again a beautiful hike in the Vienna Woods from Kahlenberg via Sulzwiese - Schwabenwiese - Vogelsangberg - Am Himmel. We wanted to go down to Grinzing, unfortunately the Reisenberggraben (Paula-Wessely-Weg) was completely iced over and it started to rain heavily. So we quickly went to the Cobenzl

Finds from this era, as well as from the Bronze Age and Hallstatt periods, confirm this. A dense settlement is also assumed to have
