Hiking is one of my favorite hobbies and this is why I’ve been to many places all over the world. To tell you the truth one of the best places I’ve been is Wienerwald. The experience was one in a lifetime plus there are many options for routes no matter how experienced you are. I’ll share you all I know and what I did. The first thing you should know is the apartments and accommodation. I was wondering whether to choose to rent a hotel room or an apartment but after a short research I’ve decided that it would be better to take an apartment. It was cheaper, more spacious and comfortable plus I was able to choose my location. Before deciding that I will go Vienna I was wondering whether to go in Poznan or Gdansk. Once I saw the prices of Vienna apartment compared to apartment Poznan and apartment Gdansk I was sure that I want to go to Austria. Anyway after I found my accommodation it was time to find a decent route for my hiking experience. I used one website but unfortunately I don’t remember its name now. I tried to find some other place that has the routes drawn but unfortunately unsuccessfully. As far as I remember the site I used had the maps drawn on hand but it was pretty good. I’m sure if you search carefully you will be able to find the best route you are looking for.
When I told my friends that I’m going hiking in Vienna in Wienerwald most of them warned me about tick bites around central Europe. Luckily this didn’t happened, plus when I was already there I spoke to a local man who has been living in this area for more than 25 years and he told me that nothing like this happened to him for this time.
By the way there is one other area suitable for hiking and it is called Lainzer Tiergarten. It is easily accessible via the U4 underground. Take it up to west of Huttledorf and then you will find it easily. It is a really nice trip that can be made for one day, plus you will save some money because the expenses aren’t big.
By the way don’t forget to bring water and food always with you because you know, everything happens and it is better to be prepared. Plus find out the easiest way to reach your destination from your Vienna apartment. If you can use the public transport because it is cheap and really frequent. I think if you plan everything one or two weeks before your arrival you won’t have any problems because Vienna is a big city and has a lot to offer to tourists. This is why you can always do some sightseeing or hiking in the regions situated near Austria’s capital. Just remember to find a good accommodation because it is important to get a good sleep after being exhausted from the all day hiking.
