VICHIKINGCLUB

Description: An approximate 15.5 km walk, mostly a lovely wooded trail in the Leitha Hills, with visits to 2 observation towers having views to Schneeberg and to Neusiedler Lake and a few delights along the way. The hike path has only around 290 m ups and 350 m downs. The area has loads of lilies of the valley and I hope they are still blooming when we are there.

Route: Starting from Muellendorf, and then through mostly woods to Sonnenberg, where we will stop for a picnic and a view from the Outlook there, the highest point in Leitha Hills. Then it is on to another Outlook tower outside of Eisenstadt to have a break either to relax, visit the nature info trail or have a drink at the Gloriette (it is a bit posh for hiking gear, howerever). After that, we descend, go through the Esterhazy Castle Gardens and return with the train to Vienna Central Station (Hbf).

If you are looking to join others to form an Einfach-Raus group, I leave it to you to be there promptly to arrange and purchase.
