Breitenfurt bei Wien

The market town of Breitenfurt in the Lower Austrian district of Mödling is located in the Vienna Woods - right on the outskirts of Vienna. The municipal area includes Breitenfurt and Hochroterd. The area was settled relatively late: It was first mentioned in documents in 1622. Breitenfurt is considered a scattered settlement, which after the Second World War consisted of several individual, self-contained settlements. The village was granted market rights in 1930.

Today, the active community is a popular destination for vacations and day trips: Its rural-urban mix offers historical sights and friendly restaurants - as well as lots of great sporting opportunities.
