Hiking tour Starting from
The market town of Leobersdorf is located at the end of the Triestingtal valley, largely in the Vienna Basin. Due to its convenient location, the municipality of Leobersdorf has developed from a pure wine village into an important business location in the Triestingtal. The hikes in the municipality are mostly flat and largely lead through agricultural areas, often between vineyards. One exception here is the Lindenberg, the first elevation north of the Triesting, which can be explored on a very beautiful hiking circuit with an ascent of 160 meters. The newly constructed cycle path towards Enzesfeld now also opens up the hiking areas of the market town of Enzesfeld-Lindabrunn as far as the Guglzipf in the Berndorf area. Hikes in Leobersdorf can be rounded off comfortably at one of the many wine taverns or inns. The new main square in the village is also worth a visit.
Although the name suggests otherwise, the Lindenberg is dominated by oak forests that are unique to the Triestingtal. The influence of the Pannonian climate is already very noticeable here, on this last foothill of the Alps. While you mostly have forest on your right as you hike clockwise on this loop, vineyards, meadows and farmland usually dominate on the left. There are also areas of dry grassland.
Despite the low altitude - a maximum of 369 m above sea level - this loop around the Lindenberg is amazingly scenic. There are views of Guglzipf, Berndorf, Waxeneck, Hocheck, Hoher Lindkogel, Sooßer Lindkogel, Harzberg, Bad Vöslau, Anninger, Leithagebirge, Rosalia, Wechsel and Hohe Wand.
From the starting point in Leobersdorf, you have to put up with an unattractive section of the trail along busy roads at the beginning and end, but then you are mostly on very good hiking trails, forest roads and partly asphalted roads. This means that this hike can also be completed with a baby carriage.
All in all, this route is an amazingly varied, scenic hike on the border between cultivated landscape and forest landscape, which also includes a visit to the Hirtenberg forest nature trail.
