All the Way Around Vienna on the Rundumadum

A highlight section of Vienna's "All-Around" hiking trail, climbing from the shore of the Danube to a panorama atop Leopoldsberg.

These stages climb over tall hills in the Vienna Woods, including Hermannskogel–the tallest in all of Vienna.

Stage 4 explores more hills in the Wienerwald, one with a lookout tower and another with an equestrian center, then Stage 5 goes through two very green recreation areas at the edge of the city.

Explore the wildlife sanctuary of Lainzer, and see the palace that endures from its time as an imperial hunting ground.

The dog-friendly alternate route to Stage 6.

Through woods and meadows of Lainzer Tiergarten, then alongside a stream at the city outskirts.

A dog-friendly route through the Maurer Wald, with a guesthouse nestled in the forest.

Path along the Leising waterway, linking many green parks in the city.

A walk through the varied environments of Favoriten and Simmering districts, which include forest parks, urban farms, the Central Cemetery, and eventually the Danube.

A wide variety of experiences in only a short distance walking, from one side of the Danube to the other.

Hike through Donau-Auen National Park, experiencing Vienna’s native flora and fauna as well as wild swimming spots in the river and forest ponds.

Leaving the national park, the route returns to a suburban environment, but with doses of nature in public parks and farm fields.

A balance of suburban and rural, forest and field, land and sky, on the outskirts of Donaustadt.

Here the Rundumadum is for wine lovers–passing between green rows of vineyards and meeting the doorstep of many traditional taverns.

From the wine country down to the Danube, through the interface of city and nature.
