Red Deer Enclosure Hohe Wand

Highlight • Natural

The game reserve tour on the Hohe Wand is a superlative family classic. There is hardly a child from the greater Vienna area who has not been here with their family at least once in their life. You can see mouflons, ibexes and, particularly impressive, a large herd of deer that you can even feed.

View of the Wiener Becken from Hohe Wand

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the weather is good, the Hohe Wand offers a breathtaking view that extends far into the Vienna Basin. The colourful hustle and bustle of the paragliders floating silently through the air is particularly fascinating. However, some routes require appropriate equipment as they are more demanding and can become unsafe without appropriate preparation.

Old Traditional Lime Kiln Hohe Wand

Highlight • Monument

09/14/2018 - For centuries, charcoal, slaked lime and resin production formed the economic basis of many residents of the Hohe Wand area. In the nature park, these old traditions can be experienced when the lime kiln or the charcoal kiln are put into operation, or at the show pitch. There are also interesting things to discover about these arduous activities in the alpine and local history museum. The nature park visitor center offers history you can touch. Charcoal, resin products and other delicacies from the region are offered in the nature park shop.
