Safety information

Trotz sorgfältigster Recherche kann es bei den Strecken zu unvorhergesehenen kurz-, mittel- oder gar längerfristigen Sperren (z.B. wegen forstlicher Sperrgebiete durch Grundbesitzer) kommen. Von uns empfohlene Parkmöglichkeiten können teils privat oder gebührenpflichtig sein – bitte auf die Beschilderung vor Ort achten. Manche Wege können abschnittsweise oder zur Gänze durch gebührenpflichtige Betriebe/Gebiete führen (z.B. Naturparke oder Klammen). Darauf wird aber in der Regel explizit in der Beschreibung hingewiesen. Alle Angaben erfolgen ohne Gewähr und die Benützung der Wege erfolgt auf eigene Gefahr. Etwaige Wegesperren sowie Hinweise von Jagd- und Grundbesitzer sind zu beachten.

Turn-by-turn directions

Starting from the thermal baths in Baden (point 40), the first mountain stage lies straight ahead, and leads to the ruins of the 12th century Rauheneck Castle. After heading south for approx. 350 m, we will leave Hiking Route No. 40 by turning right. Shortly afterwards, we will pass the impressive and archaeologically interesting “Königshöhle” (King's Cave), before turning onto the WWW 04 route, which will take us back down to Helenental. The next, almost flat route (green, No.40) along the Schwechat will lead us upstream, past the Cholerakapelle restaurant and the Krainerhütte inn, to Sattelbach. From here, we will follow the red route to Mayerling, where we will turn left onto the Via Sacra (01, 04) and turn right after approx. 500 m onto a meadow path, to reach Alland. Information boards about the life of Crown Prince Rudolf can be found all along the route.
