Naturpark Föhrenberge

Naturpark Föhrenberge is a large protected area in the Mödling region with forests of pine and beech trees spread across rolling hills. Well-marked trails run through the landscape, connecting mountain shelters and natural springs.

The area received official protected status in 1974, establishing a framework to safeguard the pine forests and local ways of life. This protection helped maintain both the natural environment and traditional practices in the region.

The park serves as a place where visitors connect with nature and learn about the local landscape. People from nearby towns often come here to walk and discover what grows in these forests.

The Goldene Stiege parking area offers a convenient starting point with several walking routes of varying length. Trails are clearly marked, making it easy to navigate and plan your time in the park.

The black pine trees here developed wood that does not creak, a quality that made them highly valued for theater stage construction in earlier times. This distinctive property set these trees apart from other timber sources in the region.
