Description

We start the tour on the famous trail in the Helenental valley, following in the footsteps of many historical figures, such as Emperor Franz and his family or Ludwig van Beethoven. On the trail along the wild and romantic river landscape, we pass the Urtlstein, the Antonsgrotte, the Cholerakapelle and the Beethovenstein before reaching the Augustinerhütte. From here, the trail climbs steeply uphill on the Steiniger Weg, with wonderful views of the Vienna Woods in between, until we reach the Sinawarte at the top of the Hoher Lindkogel (834m). After the long climb, the excursion inn is ideal for a long rest. For the descent, we pass through the Iron Gate and hike via the Brennersteig, with a short climbing section, and continue on beautiful forest paths to the ascent to the Sooßer Lindkogel. We keep left and continue downhill to the Jägerhaus and from there around the Badener Lindkogel to the Eugenvilla. This brings us back to the Schwechat and we soon reach the starting point of this great hike.

 

Fun facts:

  • From the Sinawarte you have a wonderful view of the hilly Vienna Woods and on a clear day you can even see over the top of the Anninger and deep into the federal capital of Vienna.
  • Ludwig van Beethoven was a great hiker who often covered many kilometers in the Vienna Woods. The route follows one of his original hiking trails.
