The Sina-Warte (Sina Lookout) stands atop the Hoher Lindkogel (834 m) in the Vienna Woods and is one of the region's most famous observation towers. From its platform, visitors can enjoy impressive panoramic views of the Vienna Basin, the foothills of the Alps, and, on a clear day, all the way to Vienna. Built in the 19th century, the tower commemorates Countess Sina and is a worthwhile destination for hikers and view lovers.

The Matterhörndl is a small but impressive rock in the Vienna Woods that is perfect for a short rest. It is a little hidden away from the main path and easy to miss, but it is worth the visit. With a small opening through and the opportunity to climb around a bit, it is a mystical place for photographers, children and nature lovers.
