Hi everyone!
On Saturday, May 02, 2026, I’m planning a beautiful loop hike around the Perchtoldsdorfer Heide, one of the most scenic nature areas on the southern edge of Vienna.
This route takes us through a protected nature reserve with open landscapes, gentle hills, and wide views towards Vienna and the Wienerwald. In spring, the area is especially pleasant, with fresh greenery and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s a varied hike combining forest paths, meadows, and panoramic viewpoints.

Highlights

  • 🌿 Walking through the beautiful Perchtoldsdorfer Heide Nature Reserve
  • 🌄 Panoramic views over Vienna and the Wienerwald

📍Meeting Point
Rodaun – Tram 60 Terminus
09:00 a.m.
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start calmly together.

Hike Details
Duration: approx. 5.5 hours (pure walking time)
Distance: approx. 15 km (depending on small variations)
Elevation: approx. 500 m ascent
Difficulty: Easy (technically), requires basic fitness
Pace: Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks
This hike is ideal if you would like a moderate workout without technical difficulty.
