Yesterday I was talking about the Vienna swimming pools, and I hope it helped you in this very sunny last Saturday of August. In this post I will give you another hint, on what to do for tomorrow… Hiking around Vienna.

Hiking has a very long tradition in Vienna, and you will see a lot of people on this paths, from the younger ones to the bigger or older ones. In this period of the year, some popular destinations also include the Heurigen (wine tavern) and their many vineyards, but also the Vienna Woods.

If you will hike to one Heurige you will have the possibility to drink the house wine, enjoy some delicious food, but most important you will find some of the best views.

Vienna is offering 9 city hiking paths. They are well signposted and accessible by public transport. They are properly kept and secured regularly, disposing of a high level of infrastructure for your convenience. There are children’s playgrounds along the way, as well as picnic tables and seating with fabulous views or nearby wood glades.

All the hiking paths are available in English, and can be found on www.wien.gv.at/english/leisure/hiking/paths.html.

My pictures are from the hiking path 1 to Kahlenberg :D.

Have a great Sunday!
