Would you like to experience Vienna off the beaten track? Then I would like to take you on an excursion into the city's green surroundings - for a few hours in the west of Vienna, away from the classic sights. We walk through suburbs with lots of greenery and tradition. We “climb” the Gallitzinberg, the highest elevation in Ottakring, Vienna's 16th district, at 449 meters, and discover stunning Art Nouveau architecture and enjoy beautiful scenery. Hear on this excursion about the Ruinenwiese, Knöpferlmacher and the Ottakringer Cottage - something that most tourists usually overlook - but which is no less interesting for that. I would be delighted to take you on this somewhat different Vienna tour - away from the big city. Please note: The walk leads partly over rough paths, we go through the forest in parts and there are some stairs up and down. Good footwear is recommended.
We start the tour on the grounds of a former hospital. When it opened in 1907, the "Lower Austrian State Sanatorium and Nursing Home for the Mentally Ill" was one of the largest and most modern psychiatric clinics in Europe. Designed by the famous architect Otto Wagner, among others, the ensemble is a total work of art combining architecture. A highlight of this tour is the Otto Wagner Church - a jewel of Art Nouveau architecture. (Depending on the date and time, it is possible to visit the church inside. Admission is subject to a charge, tickets are not included in the price.) We find a natural recreation area, characterized by hiking trails, small ponds and meadows. The trail leads us through a stretch of forest, past vineyards and a former aristocratic castle. On the way we have a great view of the city. We end the tour with a short walk through the old cemetery of Viennas 16th district, Ottakring.
