Step by step, footstep by footstep and deeper into nature with every turn
It is not without reason that the Vienna Alps are considered a paradise for views. Discover the viewpoints of the Semmering-Rax region around the UNESCO World Heritage Semmering Railway and enjoy the surrounding landscape with its impressive mountain peaks. Those who are particularly diligent can earn the Summit Lynx hiking pin by visiting six viewpoints.
What could be better than combining a trip into nature with a cozy stop for refreshments? This is a particularly enjoyable experience when hiking: after the climb, a well-deserved reward awaits. You can stop for refreshments in the region's huts, where homemade delicacies await visitors. Those who want to experience nature at its most beautiful can stay overnight and enjoy the sunrise on the mountain the next morning.
Not only nature and cuisine, but also nature and culture can be ideally combined. In Prigglitz, the Seidl family invites you to enjoy art in the countryside. Continuously updated works by international artists are presented on an area of around 16 hectares. Impressive sculptures and installations blend harmoniously into the picturesque landscape.
The region is easy and sustainable to reach: Take the train or bus directly to the starting points for hikes, bike tours and the ski slopes. Train stations and RUFbus stops along the routes make it easy to plan individual tours - get off, take a deep breath and off you go.
