Husar Temple

Highlight • Monument

A memorial for the fallen in the Battle of Aspern (1809, Archduke Karl - Napoleon) near little Anninger (496 meters), erected in 1813 (architect Kornhäusl). Very nice view of Vienna and the Vienna Basin. The trails going there or in the vicinity towards Kiental and Hinterbrühl are consistently very challenging.

Matterhörndl

Highlight • Natural Monument

A bit off the beaten path, just before the hussar temple. Is it easy to pass it if you do not pay attention?

Phönixberg Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

A small summit cross with a summit book and a seating under the trees invites the hiker to stay here for a short while. Although there is no view, this is a very nice spot. I think it's so nice that somebody, for non-mountaineering hikers, bothers to set up a summit cross. After all, it's a highlight on a hike when you climb a mountain ... even if it's just a small one!

After a relatively steep climb, there is a really nice summit cross, the place has something magical about it. The small bank invites you to rest and as a reminder you can also register in a summit book

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.
