Experience nature, get active
Covering an area of 1,300 square kilometres, the Vienna Woods show how close nature and the city can be. Between sandstone ridges in the west and limestone cliffs in the east, deciduous and pine forests spread out, interspersed with meadows and fields. The Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve on the outskirts of Vienna invites visitors to explore trails that combine exercise and tranquillity: from narrow paths to wide forest ridges. Those who venture here discover the forest in a different light every time – a landscape that retains its own tranquillity close to the metropolis.
