Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a beautiful and safe experience all around.
Please observe the following:
Make sure when choosing your route that it fits your mountain experience and fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. Weather in the mountains can change quickly and unexpectedly. Always start properly equipped (appropriate footwear, rain protection). Check if the huts and snack stations you want to visit are open. Inform someone about your route choice and planned return before setting off. Stay on marked paths and avoid shortcuts. Due to dryness, meadows and forests are easily flammable. Handle fire with respect and immediately report any possible fire to the fire department. Do not litter and dispose of waste properly.

Roadbook
The hike starts at the Semmering pass. You have to walk a short section along the L4168 road until you reach a sharp curve where you turn left. The path leads to Semmering train station. Here, visiting the information center about the Semmering Railway World Heritage Site and the "Carl Ritter von Ghega" monument is recommended. Continue following the signage of the Lower Austrian railway hiking trail to the viewpoints around the Wolfsbergkogel (Doppelreiter viewing tower and 20 Schilling View). Now, turn left off the railway hiking trail and above the small football field, the path passes by the Semlitsch sculpture park. The path then goes steeply uphill past Villa Leidenfrost along Friedrich Schüler Street. There the path rejoins Hochstraße. Follow the street, passing the Panorama Hotel Wagner and the parish church back to the pass.
