In 1999, the Way of St. James across Austria was provisionally marked for the first time with small larch signs; since 2011, there has been a permanent signage system from Purkersdorf heading west. The highlight of the first stage we’ll cover on this tour is the Troppberg, a classic Vienna Woods destination, “graced” by no fewer than two lookout towers: After the stone lookout tower from 1870 disappeared among the towering deciduous trees, a taller steel one was simply built next to it in 1991! The view from a height of 25 meters—stretching from the seemingly boundless slopes of the Vienna Woods all the way to the Schneeberg and the Ötscher—more than makes up for the steep climb up the stairs.
From the Purkersdorf Zentrum train station, it’s just a few meters to the pedestrian zone in Purkersdorf, which you cross—keeping to the left—to reach the bypass road. We follow it about 500 m to the left until the red-marked trail to the Hochramalm branches off to the left. We climb steeply up over a forest ditch to the open alpine meadow. Now we face the strenuous ascent to the Hochramberg, 459 m. At the top, at a fork, we follow the green-marked Adolf-Samper Trail to the right, which comes up from Purkersdorf and leads us over the Buchberg (428 m). Along the way, we see a few faded yellow paint marks or blue cardboard tags with a Hermes head. These are remnants of an attempt to permanently mark the 53-km-long Hermes Trail. Sandy ground accompanies hikers on their way to the Troppberg. The summit, with the Troppbergwarte lookout, lies slightly off the high-altitude trail, which continues toward Rekawinkel (alternative route). However, at the trail junction with the yellow trail
