Wiener Wald forest path

Wiener Wald Jubiläumswarten

Great trail bike country in the Vienna woods (Wiener Wald) up from Gumpoldskirchen. This is the Anniger mountain (675 m.). My friend with the Scott 700 took the short ride on the S-Bahn out of Vienna - the bike needs a ticket too. This is forested limestone country. There are a number of Jubiläumswarten (Jubilee Towers) which poke above the forest canopy to enjoy panoramic views of the Alps, Vienna and the Carpathian mountains.

Wild garlic abounds and there are Emerald lizards.

Difficult not to think of the Waltz by Johann Strauss, Tales of the Vienna Woods as Trails of the Vienna Woods.
