Tips from the Community
The Lourdes Grotto in the Vienna Woods is a faithful replica of the Lourdes Grotto. Even the altar was built from pure marble, (like the altar in Lourdes).

The castle was probably built in the 11th century by the feudal lord, the Bishopric of Passau. However, it is possible that a watchtower already stood on this prominent terrain point during Roman times.[1][2][3] The castle was an important link in the defence system on the Danube. Its beacon station enabled the exchange of messages with both Kreuzenstein and Leopoldsberg.

Greifenstein Castle sits impressively above the Danube and is a prominent landmark along many biking and hiking trails. From the viewpoints around the castle, you can enjoy fantastic views of the river, the riparian forests, and the towns on the opposite bank. It's a particularly good spot for a short detour or rest stop, especially for mountain bikers, who can combine a rewarding break with panoramic views.

From the cycle path along the old Danube river arm, a magnificent view of Greifenstein Castle opens up. As you leisurely cycle along the water, the castle rises picturesquely above the river, forming a striking historical contrast to the surrounding nature. This view makes the cycle tour particularly charming and invites you to take short breaks to enjoy the panorama in peace. Greifenstein Castle is a medieval hilltop castle in Lower Austria, picturesquely perched above the old Danube river arm. Probably built in the 11th century and first documented in 1135, it played an important role in the defense system along the Danube over the centuries and also served as a prison for the ecclesiastical court. In the 19th century, the castle was romantically redesigned under Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein. Today, it is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside, but from the Danube Cycle Path, it offers impressive views of the historic complex and its harmonious integration into the surrounding landscape.

You pass this great castle if you walk the Great Tullnerfeld Circular Trail 475, although you are already in the Vienna Woods :-)
