Hiking

At the top, a breathtaking panorama opens up.
Before you lies Vienna, nestled between rolling hills and the glittering Danube, which snakes through the city like a silver ribbon. 🏙️🌊

To the left and right stretch the vineyards of the Wienerwald, lush green in summer, golden in autumn – a sight as if from a painting. 🍇🌿
In the distance, the towers of St. Stephen's Cathedral and the DC Tower reach for the sky, while the city below dissolves into countless small details – roofs, parks, streets, life.

The castle was probably built in the 12th century. With the expansion of the castle Laxenburg by Albrecht III., After the Habsburgs had taken over, began in 1377, the decay of the castle.
In the course of the First Turkish Siege in 1529, the castle was probably blown up, at least largely destroyed. After under Emperor Leopold I in 1679 on the mountain plateau again a chapel, the church on Leopoldsberg, was built, was Emperor Charles VI. built around 1720 on the site of a castle to a design by Antonio Beduzzi.

Hiking

From Leopoldsberg you have a wonderful view of the city of Vienna and the Danube and also to Klosterneuburg on the other side. The climb is not only possible via the steep Naseweg, but also via the wine hiking trail from Nussdorf.
