Hubertuswarte

Hubertuswarte is an observation tower located in the Lainzer Tiergarten at 508 meters above sea level, providing panoramic views across Vienna and its surrounding countryside. From the top, visitors can see the blend of forest areas and the city's landscape spread below them.

The tower was built in 1939 and later designated as a protected monument with the number 75041. This status recognizes its importance as a structure within Austria's architectural heritage.

The tower serves as a gathering place for nature lovers within the Lainzer Tiergarten, where visitors experience the variety of Vienna's landscapes from a high vantage point. People come here to step away from city life and connect with the forest and countryside around them.

The tower can be reached by several hiking trails that pass through the Lainzer Tiergarten, requiring sturdy footwear for the journey. The paths have moderate inclines, though a basic level of fitness helps for the uphill sections.

The tower's position between Hietzing and Auhof creates a special point where city and nature meet directly. From here, visitors can observe how Vienna's buildings gradually give way to open countryside beyond.
