Perchtoldsdorfer Heide Panorama Loop

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.
