Three-mark stone
Mountain summit
Description
The 454-metre-high Dreimarkstein is located on the border of the Viennese districts of Döbling and Hernals, as well as the Lower Austrian cadastral municipality of Weidling. The Dreimarkstein is a foothill of the Vienna Woods. Most of the mountain is forested, with the Wiener Höhenstraße running just below the summit.
Location: Vienna Woods, Weidling
Hike up the Dreimarkstein
The hike up the Dreimarkstein is easy and also ideal for families.
From the old wine-growing village of Sievering in Vienna's 19th district, the red-marked hike leads to the inconspicuous summit of the Dreimarkstein on the Lower Austrian side. The popular Wienerwald restaurant "Häuserl am Roan", which is located directly on the Höhenstraße just below the summit and is already part of Vienna, invites you to stop for a bite to eat. The view of Neustift am Walde surrounded by vineyards and the hilly Vienna Woods backdrop in the distance are worth highlighting on this hike. The summit or the Häuserl am Roan can also be reached by car, directly via the Wiener Höhenstraße or with the 43A bus line of the Wiener Linien.
Mountain bike route over the Dreimarkstein
The Obere Roan-Trail mountain bike tour meanders smoothly through the forest parallel to the forest road and offers a few fine viewpoints over the northern Vienna Woods in between. It ends at the start of the Wurzel Trail, from where you can either ride down it or continue along the Hameau trail towards Exelberg.
