Wanderregion Anninger: Vom Bhf. Baden über Beethoven Spazierweg (Nr.40) zum Bhf. Mödling

Together with the Eschenkogel (653 m), the Vierjochkogel (651 m) and the Buchkogel (639 m), the Anninger (675 m) - approx. 20 km south of Vienna - forms a massive limestone mountain range. The low mountain range on the eastern edge of the Vienna Alps - at the break-off to the Vienna Alps basin - can also be described as the heart of the Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve, where nature and culture are in harmony with each other. The Anninger is almost entirely covered by extensive forests. At altitudes between300 m and 500 m, there are broad-leaved oak-hornbeam forests, with woodruff-beech forests dominated by copper beech above. In addition, the black pine (umbrella pine, Viennese Parapluibaum) is often found, such as over large areas in the Föhrenberge Nature Park, the southern part of which extends into the area of the Anninger. The municipalities of Hinterbrühl, Mödling, Gumpoldskirchen, Pfaffstätten, Baden and Gaaden, as well as Guntramsdorf and Traiskirchen lie at the foot of the Anninger. From each of these starting points, the mountain can be "climbed" along signposted paths with all its major and minor attractions, such as the Wilhelmswarte, the Jubiläumswarte, the Klesheimwarte or the Husarentempel. Hikers will also find cozy restaurants such as the Anninger Schutzhaus and the Krauste Linde.
