The Schöpfl, as the highest mountain in the Vienna Woods, offers an ideal combination of nature experience and impressive views. The climb to the Matraswarte is particularly worthwhile, from which a spectacular 360° panorama stretches - from Vienna across the Tullnerfeld to the Schneeberg and Ötscher. After the hike, the Schöpflhütte invites you to stop for a cozy break. The well-marked paths make the climb a pleasant experience, even for less experienced hikers. A detour to the Mitterschöpfl and the Leopold Figl Observatory rounds off the tour with beautiful natural impressions.

"Rest at the spring" is engraved on the back of the wooden bench and there is indeed a spring with a drinking cup right next to it.

A very impressive tree. If you want to see it, you have to push your bike into the ditch, as cycling is prohibited here! But the view is definitely worth the short walk from the road.
