Pfaffstättner Kogel, Mountain summit in Vienna Woods, Austria
Pfaffstättner Kogel is a mountain summit reaching 541 meters in the Vienna Woods region of Lower Austria, surrounded by dense forest coverage. Multiple hiking routes wind through the wooded slopes, each with varying terrain and difficulty.
The mountain served as a boundary marker in medieval times as Lower Austria's territorial divisions took shape. Its elevated position made it a natural reference point for navigation across the region.
The mountain hut at the summit serves as a meeting point where hikers and local groups gather to enjoy views and spend time together.
Three main starting points from Baden, Gumpoldskirchen, and Pfaffstätten provide access, with each route offering different challenge levels. Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are important for any visit.
The mountain's southern slope contains the Einödhöhle, a cave formed from carbonate rock that dates to the Triassic period. This geological feature reveals the ancient origins of the site.
