Kahlenberg
Four Hours to the Best View Imaginable
Ready for one of the greatest views you'll ever experience? Located in the Vienna woods, the Kahlenberg is one of the most popular destinations for Vienna residents. From the Kahlenberg you can experience a breathtaking view of the city and peer all the way to the Schneeberg, the source of Vienna's mountain spring water.
The Kahlenberg has a long history and reached its fame when the Polish King Sobiesky marched through with his army in 1683 and liberated Vienna from the Turkish occupiers. Today, it is a mega-popular destination that can be reached by hiking a four-hour trail. The culmination is a tall viewing tower, the Stefaniewarte, which was built in 1887, and the panorama terrace, with its unmatched view of Vienna. And you can finish your excursion with delicious treats at the restaurant and cafe.
For those who would prefer, the Kahlenberg can also be reached in the comfort of a bus.
