Schneeberg

The Schneeberg reaches an elevation of 2,076 meters, making it the highest mountain in Lower Austria with steep limestone slopes on three sides.

The 1873 construction of a 120-kilometer pipeline from Schneeberg to Vienna established a water supply system that continues to serve the capital today.

The mountain attracts thousands of visitors throughout the year who explore the numerous climbing routes and hiking paths across the limestone terrain.

The mountain station of the rack-and-pinion railway sits at 1,800 meters, providing access to multiple walking routes suitable for different fitness levels.

The Schneeberg stands as the easternmost and northernmost Alpine peak exceeding 2,000 meters, visible from Vienna, Bratislava, and locations up to 180 kilometers away.
