Vogelsangberg

Vogelsangberg is a mountain summit in Vienna with an elevation of 516 meters (1,693 feet) and the second-highest point within the city boundaries. The peak is surrounded by forest and offers various hiking trails with different difficulty levels.

The mountain formed through geological processes and has shaped Vienna's landscape since the city's earliest days of development. Over centuries, it became an important reference point and geographical landmark for the region.

The name reflects an association with birdwatching, and today it draws nature lovers who value both the views and the forest walks. Visitors experience local wildlife and vegetation while remaining within city boundaries.

The hiking trails are mainly accessible from the Grinzing district and clearly marked, making navigation straightforward. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and check weather conditions, as conditions at the top can be windier.

From this spot, you can see several other nearby peaks such as Handleinsberg and Kahlenberg within a few kilometers. This viewpoint offers a rare chance to understand how Vienna's hills relate to each other geographically.
