Himmelhof, Scenic viewpoint in Ober Sankt Veit, Austria.

The Himmelhof viewpoint provides a clear view over Vienna, extending to Bratislava and the Hainburger Pforte on cloudless days.

A ski jump operated at Himmelhof from 1949 until 1980, when fire destroyed the structure that marked the winter sports era.

The Künstlerkommune, a group of artists led by painter Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, established their residence at the former gasthaus from 1897 to 1899.

The site contains an ORS radio transmitter that broadcasts Austrian television and radio programs in both analog and digital formats.

The location derives its name from a 19th-century dairy farm and inn called Am Himmel, different from another Am Himmel in Döbling.
