Hirtenberg

The market town of Hirtenberg in the district of Baden lies at the end of the Triesting Valley. This is where the Triesting river flows from the Vienna Woods into the Vienna Basin. Finds prove that the area was settled as early as the Neolithic Age. The "Feste Huotto" was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. Today, there are several cultural sights to discover in Hirtenberg. Beautiful hiking trails invite you to explore the landscape - along vineyards, across gentle meadows and through the forest.
