Hermannskogel, Mountain summit in Döbling district of Vienna, Austria.
The Hermannskogel rises 542 meters above sea level, marking the highest natural elevation point within the boundaries of Vienna.
The Habsburgwarte observation tower, built in 1888 on Hermannskogel, served as the primary reference point for cartographic measurements in Austria-Hungary until 1918.
The name combines the medieval personal name Hermann with Kogel, reflecting the traditional Austrian practice of naming cone-shaped hills.
Visitors can access the summit through a 30-minute hike from the Grüass Di a Gott Wirt location along the Viennese Höhenstrasse.
The geological composition of Hermannskogel includes distinct layers of flysch, quartz, limestone, and marl visible on its southwestern approach.
