Description


This is billed as one of the best places to take in views of the city, looking down on the Danube valley and the city centre. On the day I visited a thick fog had descended on the city which meant that you couldn't even see more than about 100 yards. Nearby there are lots of trails through the woods, including up to further view points and viewing platforms. At the main terrace is a Polish church on the site where the Polish Army camped overnight before the final relief of Vienna in the final Ottoman war.

Charge


Free to take in the views (if there are any)

Getting There

You can take the hop-on-hop-off bus up to the view point, alternatively take the U4 north to the end of the line at Heiligenstadt and change there for a 38A bus that goes all the way to the view point car park, or take the 38 tram from the city centre to the end of the line at Grinzing and change there for the 38A. The 38A buses are very frequent, with at least one bus every 10 minutes, rising to one every 4-6 minutes on Sundays as the city heads to the hills. Total journey time from the city centre to the peak is around 45 minutes.
