Details for: Wolfsgraben circular hike

Brief description

The Wolfsgraben circular hike is a very family-friendly hiking route. Since this route is mainly on farm roads and forest roads, it is also suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.

Description

Tip/Fun fact: If you hike through the Vienna Woods in the evening, you might be lucky to encounter Austria's second largest owl – the hawk owl! Since 2009, this once-native bird has been reintroduced here.

Route description Wolfsgraben circular hike

We start our hike at the old municipal office, the K.K. Forest Office, and turn into Josef Hutterer Street. Then we go left into Pater Effenberger Street and continue uphill to Tabor Street. Then we follow hiking trail 4 (blue) to the first resting spot at Tabor. After Tabor, we leave the blue marking to the left towards the southeast and reach the last section of the hedge nature trail. We now walk to the intersection and then follow the marked Dreibergeroute (right). From the forest intersection, where we keep left (No. 1, red), it goes gently downhill. We turn left into Dreiberg Street towards the north and reach the main road and from there back to the K.K. Forest Office. Opposite our turnoff, near the church, there is a rest area with tables and benches. Even more comfortable is a stop at the beer garden of the “Dreimäderlhaus”.

Parking

At the Wolfsgraben parish church

Safety information

Despite the most careful research, there may be unforeseen short-, medium- or even long-term closures on the routes (e.g. due to forestry closure areas by landowners). Parking options recommended by us may sometimes be private or subject to fees – please pay attention to the signage on site. Some paths may lead partially or entirely through fee-charging operations/areas (e.g., nature parks or gorges). However, this is usually explicitly pointed out in the description. All information is given without guarantee and use of the paths is at your own risk. Any path closures as well as notices from hunting and landowners must be observed.
