Vienna's Diverse Landscapes
Vienna offers a unique blend of urban and natural landscapes. The Wienerwald, or Vienna Woods, is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, showcasing lush forests, vineyards, and panoramic views of the city.
Intriguing Wienerwald Trails
The Vienna Woods host over 500 kilometers of trails. Among them, the 'City Hiking Paths' with 11 routes, provide a well-marked network leading to hidden ruins, hermitages, and natural springs.
Kahlenberg's Breathtaking Views
Kahlenberg, a hill in the 19th district, offers stunning views over Vienna. Reachable by bus, foot, or bike, it's the climax of several hiking trails and a spot for local wines.
Lainzer Tiergarten Nature
Lainzer Tiergarten, a former imperial hunting ground, now a public park, is home to wild boars, deer, and woodpeckers. Its historic Hermesvilla adds a cultural touch to the hiking experience.
Hiking with a Vineyard Twist
Take the Stammersdorf to Nussdorf trail to explore Vienna's viniculture. Hike past vineyards, enjoy wine-tastings, and visit traditional Viennese Heurigers (wine taverns) for local food and drinks.
Nasenweg's Unique Adventure
The Nasenweg trail starts at the Danube and winds up the Leopoldsberg. It offers a mix of city and nature vistas, and leads to a castle ruin, providing a historical element to your hike.
Hiking by Night
For a surreal experience, try the 'Moonlight Hike' through the Vienna Woods. These guided night hikes reveal the nocturnal side of the forest's wildlife and offer a new perspective of Vienna's natural beauty.
