Hernals

The 17th district of Vienna extends along the Als River between the Vienna Forest and Gürtel, covering an area of 11.35 square kilometers.

Archaeological findings reveal settlements dating to the Neolithic Era, with the district officially established in 1892 through the merger of Hernals, Dornbach, and Neuwaldegg townships.

The district features notable religious structures including the Kalvarienbergkirche and Sühnekirche churches, along with historical theaters that contribute to the local arts scene.

Residents access the district through an extensive network of trams and buses, while the postal code 1170 identifies all addresses within the Hernals boundaries.

Schwarzenbergpark in Neuwaldegg holds the distinction of being the oldest landscape garden in Austria, providing a natural retreat within the urban setting.
