GeorgswartePhoto: TVB Semmering-Rax-Schneeberg
The Eselstein offers an impressive view of the region. It was from here that Carl Ritter von Ghega planned and observed the construction of the Semmering Railway. You can marvel at the viaducts of the Semmering Railway and the view extends over Semmering, Rax and Schneeberg.
Author’s recommendation
Enjoy the view of Maria Schutz from the Georgswarte.

Café DietmayerSafety information
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be an enjoyable and safe experience.
Therefore, please note the following:
When choosing a route, make sure that it matches your mountain experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather can change surprisingly quickly in the mountains. Therefore, always set off with the appropriate equipment (suitable footwear, rain protection). Check whether the huts and snack bars you want to visit along the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return time before you set off. Stay on marked trails and avoid shortcuts. Due to the dry conditions, meadows and forests are highly flammable. Be respectful when handling fire and report any possible fires to the fire department immediately. (122) Do not litter and dispose of your trash properly.
