Description

At the Weilburg coat of arms, we immediately learn something about the famous castle, which was built as a symbol of Archduke Karl's love for his young wife Henriette. After the ascent, we explore the rooms of the Rauheneck castle ruins with the children. From the keep, we have a wonderful panoramic view of Baden, the Vienna Woods and the Vienna Basin. The rest of the hike leads partly on narrow paths through the hilly Vienna Woods with beautiful views time and again. We stop for refreshments in the well-known wine village of Sooß. To the delight of the children, the way back through the vineyards can be completed in a much shorter time.

Fun fact: Exploring the ruins of Rauheneck Castle with the children and imagining the life of knights is always fun. The view from the tower is an absolute highlight.
