In the middle of Vienna there are hiking opportunities that can be done in any weather. One of them is the Wienerberg recreation area, a large green space on a former brick factory site on the southern slope of the Wienerberg. It is one of the areas acquired by the city administration from 1955, which…

A walk in the Lobau is always a good idea, even if the weather isn't that great. The Panozzalacke is an arm of the Danube at the southwestern end of the Lobau. The body of water is a popular natural bathing spot in summer, but also a retreat for many endangered plants and animals. The memorial stone…

The Gföhlberg is the second highest elevation in the Vienna Woods and only a few meters lower than its neighbor, the Schöpfl. We skipped the summit today, first of all the wooded Gupf offers hardly any view, and it was also quite foggy. Still a nice hike. You should definitely stop off at the cozy Gf…

The Kamptalwarte at 351 m above sea level offers a great view, but only when it is not blocked and when there is no fog. Both were true today, but still a nice experience. The light fog cast an enchanting light on the landscape. From the once so proud fortress of Schonenburg from the 12th century. there…

Although the Kienberg is only 650 m high, the view over the Neue Welt to the Hohe Wand and the Schneeberg is magnificent. From the Strelzhof we are unmarked up an old forest path, further up we continue marked. The last meters of altitude to the summit are steep but not difficult. We descended via the…

On this circular hike from Garsten to Steyr you will meet the Christkindl, and not just on December 24th. Thanks to Ferdinand Sertl, it can be visited 365 days a year. The Christkindl pilgrimage path begins at the former Benedictine monastery in Garsten and ends at the parish church of Steyr, where Sertl…

Today's hike took us once again into the Vienna Woods, at the north-eastern end of the Alps and not far from Vienna. Most of the peaks in the Vienna Woods offer - unless there is a lookout point - hardly any view, including the 459 m high Ram. Nevertheless, many paths lead past, including the Way of…

The signposted circular route leads through the Heldenberg vineyards. We started the hike at the train station in Großweikersdorf, the actual starting point of the round is in Großwetzdorf. Slightly uphill and past a game reserve with bison and deer, we reach the Großwetzdorf wine fountain, which is…

The Bad Vöslau quarry offers a view of the largest Austrian outcrop of a geological fracture zone. Over a length of 400 m and a height of 50 m, an area is exposed along which there have been massive shifts in the earth's crust. The deep slab, which sank over a period of 5 million years, is now about…

Hardly any snow, but it was freezing cold on today's hike in the southeastern Mühlviertel. The villages used to belong to the Machland district and the Klam Gorge was an ideal location in the pre-industrial era. Above all, millers and blacksmiths used the power of water. The best place to look up interesting…
