Rudolfshöhe, Mountain summit in Wienerwald, Austria
The Rudolfshöhe rises to an elevation of 475 meters above sea level, offering views across the western Wienerwald region and parts of Vienna.
The first observation tower was constructed in 1861, becoming a destination for Viennese residents until its deterioration in the early 1900s.
The mountain received its name from Crown Prince Rudolf, who selected this location in the Wienerwald region as one of his preferred hunting grounds.
Visitors can reach the summit through a 7.16-kilometer hiking trail that starts at the U4 subway station in Hütteldorf.
The current wooden observation tower stands 26 meters tall with a covered platform, providing views of the Ötscher and Schneeberg mountains on clear days.
