In Vienna it is not easy to find an area, where one can walk or jog good, average distances. You may go for the "Danube Island", but if you are staying in western Vienna, the Vienna Woods and surroundings are excellent, but not easy to reach without car or bike.
Equipment: I prefer 2 areas, close to my neighbourhood and would like to recommend them as an "Insider Tip"! a.) the "Steinhofgruende" close to Hotel Schloss Wilhelminenberg" (see my hotel tip for directions etc), and b.) The "Schwarzenberg-Allee" in NEUWALDEGG (tram 43 ) the green areas show the jogging- and walking areas !

Theme: Hiking
The "Jubilaeums-warte" ("Anniversary-vantage-tower") was constructed on occasion of emperor Franz-Josef`s 50th emperorship-anniversary . It has been refurbished and reconstructed after ww2 and offers a nice view over the vast Vienna-Woods and beautiful beechtree-forests.The hike is marked as "City Walk no. 4" and takes you through "Dehne park" and as far as the Jubiläumswarte vantage point. Enjoy stunning views of Schneeberg mountain (weather permitting). Point of departure: Bahnhofstrasse tram stop (49) Tram #49 from Karl Renner Ringstrasse or Volkstheater (about 30 minutes to Bahnhofstrasse) Distance: 7.2km Walking time: 2.5 - 3 h Pubs and restaurants: Gasthaus Silbersee, Buffet Kreuzeichenwiese, Rosental, Zlamal Additional tip: walk down via "Kreuzeichenwiese" to Heuberg (very nice restaurant and "Heuriger") where you can take bus 44B to tram #43 (another hour)
Equipment: Just take good hiking-shoes and good temper!

It is indeed very pleasant to tour Vienna thru your pages. I will definitely be scheduling Austria on my next trips. | cold_dead_bunny Thu May 8, 2008 14:02 UTC
Ha those trams still run in Crimea like ordinary trams :) I love them, lots of noise and feels like it will crash over next corner! | globetrott Sat May 3, 2008 05:05 UTC
