Hohe Wand - Hiking

We have become quite keen on the odd hiking trip and have also tried our the "Hohe Wand" nature park south of Vienna. The 1,135 metre high and 8 km long "Hohe Wand" rises from the plain like an island and is a beautiful sight driving towards it. It took us less than an hour to travel there by car and you have to pay a little entrance fee upon approaching the park (2,50€ per adult, 1€ per child and dogs are allowed in on a leash), then you either walk up or drive up and park your car to start from there. There are numerous hiking and climbing options, a great number of huts for food and drinks, a animal park for young and old as well as an impressive sky-walk observation deck with amazing views over the area. We hiked one of the longer trails for over 10 km. Most of the way takes you through the woods which was great as it was very hot on the day we where there. Great trail, fantastic views and an instant holiday feeling!!
