Weitblick-Route (far-view)

Your routes in the Vienna Alps should be an all-round beautiful and safe experience. Therefore, please note the following:

Preparation

When choosing a route, make sure it suits your experience and condition. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather can change surprisingly quickly in the mountains. Therefore, always set off equipped accordingly (e.g. rain protection).

Check whether the inns and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your choice of route and your planned return before you set off.

Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes and a helmet suitable for the tour, take sun and rain protection as well as water and a snack with you. Take your mobile phone with you and save the emergency number of the rescue service: 144
