Mizzi-Langer-Wand, Natural climbing cliff in Liesing district, Vienna, Austria.
The Mizzi-Langer-Wand is a natural limestone cliff approximately 40 meters high located in the Liesing district. The rock face provides multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty across its vertical surface.
The site was first documented in 1754 as a quarry on Jean-Baptiste Brequin's map of southern Vienna. Over time, the former extraction area transformed into a popular climbing destination for the city's mountaineers.
The cliff is named after Maria 'Mizzi' Langer-Kauba, a mountaineer who operated Vienna's oldest sports equipment store and organized climbing gatherings in the late 1800s. Her name remains tied to the city's climbing traditions.
The climbing area remains accessible year-round, with parking available on Willergasse street opposite the Santa Christiana Institute. It is advisable to bring suitable footwear and weather protection, as conditions vary with the seasons.
During World War II, a 138-meter-long air raid shelter was built at the cliff's base, complete with ventilation systems and wooden seating. This underground refuge bears witness to the site's wartime military history.
