1st Vienna Water Pipeline Path - Section 2

Difficulty: Easy

We owe this beautiful hiking trail to the construction of the First Vienna High Spring Pipeline in 1873. In order to utilize the gradient for the valuable drinking water from the source in the Rax-Scheeberg area to Vienna, it was "divided" over the entire length. The hiking trail is correspondingly flat. There are no noticeable ascents or descents, apart from in the town of Baden - and even here not worth mentioning.

Description

In 1998, this path was laid out directly on the pipeline route to mark the 125th anniversary of the I. Wiener Hochquellenleitung. Every year in September, the traditional pleasure mile takes place here, with direct wine tasting in the vineyard. The hiking trail along the I. Wiener Hochquellenleitung consists of 2 routes, each designed as a day trip. The trail leads along the most beautiful sections of the pipeline route. The first section of the 1st Vienna Water Trail starts in Kaiserbrunn. The second section of the 1st Vienna Water Trail starts in Bad Vöslau.

safety instructions Despite the most careful research, there may be unforeseen short-, medium-, or even long-term closures of routes (e.g., due to forestry closures by landowners). Recommended parking options may be private or subject to fees – please observe the signs on site. Some paths may partially or entirely pass through fee-charging enterprises/areas (e.g., nature parks or gorges). 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 instructions from hunting and landowners must be observed.
Equipment Sturdy footwear, water, rain protection
Route description We start our route in Bad Vöslau on a meadow path. The first section runs parallel to the Doktor-Robert-Schlumberger-Weg. We immediately notice that wine accompanies us constantly, which is evident not only from the path names and the vineyards we walk through but also from the numerous heurigers. We are on the Genussmeile of the spa region. After about an hour, we reach Baden, where the path is unmarked in the urban area. We come from the Wasserleitungsstraße, pass the Helenen-Friedhof, walk under the aqueduct after Steinbruchgasse, and reach the Baden beach after the Hildegard bridge. We continue over Schlossgasse and Marchetstraße to the casino. Then we follow Kaiser-Franz-Ring to the left turn into Welzergasse and immediately right into Trostgasse, which we follow up to Flamminggasse. There we turn left and then right onto Schiestlstraße. From here, it is about 100 m until we are back on the High Spring Water Pipeline path. Our next destination is Gumpoldskirchen. On this following 5 km section, we have a gradient of exactly 5 m; we walk practically flat.The well-known wine town with its heurigers offers numerous dining options. No one will have to suffer from thirst on this hiking trail anyway. Those not drawn to wine have multiple opportunities to refresh themselves at fountains with cool spring water. We leave Gumpoldskirchen heading north and now have to cross the heavily trafficked state road on weekends. Afterwards, it continues in the same style, always pleasantly flat. After about 1 km, we have the last opportunity to refill our water bottle before reaching Mödling.
