Mostalm (Permanently Closed)

Highlight • Restaurant

The Gasthaus Mostalm is unfortunately permanently closed. A sign at the entrance indicates this. What a shame!

The Vienna City Hiking Trail 8 leads you from the western edge of Vienna into the tranquil Vienna Woods – with well-marked paths, plenty of forest, and small streams. Along the way, forest roads alternate with narrow trails, offering frequent views of the Vienna Basin. Ideal as a leisurely half-day hike, easily accessible by public transport.

A place with a wonderful view of the Sophienalpe. If you are lucky and the banker is free, you should take a break here and enjoy the great panorama of Vienna.

Old Cog Railway Route to Sophienalpe

Highlight • Trail

A test route for the cog railway to the Kahlenberg was once built here. Impressive technical achievement, it's quite a steep path.

Spital Meadow

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

It's not just dogs that feel comfortable here. Many bees and bumblebees find the finest flowers here. Nice to watch. Sitting in the meadow is also a nice experience.

Turks' Stones, Hadersdorf-Weidlingau

Highlight • Monument

The Turkish stones are located near Hadersdorf-Weidlingau, Vienna 14, approx. 300 m away from Mauerbachstraße, on Stadtwanderweg 8, in the immediate vicinity of the Laudon tomb.

The Turkish stones remind of the struggle with the Turks for Belgrade. After Field Marshal Laudon liberated Vienna from the hands of the Turks in 1769, he had the gravestone of the Turkish commanders set up at the Constantinople Gate at this location as a memorial to victory. The area still belonged to the properties of the nearby Laudon Castle.

One gate plate shows the signature of Sultan Mahmud I, the other announces his fame.
