Hiking tour Starting from
The market town of Altenmarkt lies in the Triesting valley, which also forms the southern border of the Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve. This is the largest closed deciduous forest area in Europe. To the north of the Triesting, hiking opportunities typical of the Vienna Woods therefore predominate over gentle hills, through deciduous forests, across meadows and past individual farmsteads. The best starting point for these well-developed hiking trails is on the Hafnerberg. In addition to the enjoyment of nature, it is also the sacred buildings along the Via Sacra that attract many visitors to Altenmarkt. Three pilgrimage churches (Klein Mariazell, Hafnerberg and Altenmarkt) are located in the municipality and are connected by a scenically varied hiking trail. Around Hafnerberg and Nöstach there are many mystical places, places of power, which are also worth a visit and some of which can be hiked individually. The village of St. Corona lies in the middle of the densely wooded area of the Schöpfl, which can be quickly climbed from here.
The hike up the Schöpf offers a short climb up the highest mountain in the Vienna Woods to the Matraswarte viewing tower. From here you can enjoy a 360° panorama that stretches from the Tullner Feld, across Vienna and the Vienna Basin to the Schneeberg and Ötscher. On the way back, it is worth taking a detour towards the "Mitterschöpfl" core zone of the Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve. The spruce and fir forest around the Leopold Figl Observatory offers wonderful impressions of nature.
Back in St. Corona, you can round off the program with a visit to the Meiselberghof adventure farm with its camels, llamas, alpacas, reindeer, emus, etc. or you can end the day in the St. Corona inn.
