Vienna - who does not immediately think of the Hofburg, the Prater and the many coffee houses? Yet the Danube metropolis lies in the middle of a hiker's paradise - only a few kilometres from the city limits, a varied mountain world opens up with almost endless touring possibilities. The Roth hiking guide "Wiener Hausberge Süd" is dedicated to the regions around Schneeberg, Raxalpe and Schneealpe in the south of Vienna as well as the Semmering and Wechsel area. The mountains in the southern Viennese basin up to the border of neighbouring Styria present a very special, unmistakable type of landscape: the harmonious mixture of pine forest, light limestone rock and lush green meadows is one of the most charming landscapes of the Eastern Alps. Surprisingly untouched is the nature here, which gives hiking in this wonderful area a very special charm. The two Viennese.
