Hohe Wand Wiese Ski and Bike Area

Highlight • MTB Park

The Hohe Wand Wiese is one of the two ski slopes in Vienna and is located in the 14th district of Penzing on the edge of the Vienna Woods. It opened in 1966 and was the scene of the first parallel slalom and the first floodlit slalom in the history of skiing. The slope is 400 meters long, has a vertical drop of 102 meters and a maximum gradient of 25%. It has a tow lift, a baby tow lift, snow-making equipment and floodlights. You need a trail ticket to ski the slope, which you can buy online or at the cash desk. The Hohe Wand Wiese is not only an attractive destination in winter, but also in summer. There has been a summer toboggan run here since 2006, which offers fun for the whole family. In addition, the Hohe Wand Wiese is part of the first and only urban mountain bike trail center in Austria, which offers 10 trails, a pump track, a skills area, a bike school, a bike shop and a cozy restaurant. If you would like to visit the Hohe Wand Wiese, you can find out more about opening hours, prices and offers on the website. I hope you have a lot of fun there! 😊

St. Jakob Parish Church Purkersdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

Parish of St. Jakob
Purkersdorf has existed for 870 years; The first traces of church activity appeared in this place around 700 years ago. In the 13th century our parish was separated from the former mother parish of Sieghartskirchen. Since its founding, the parish and church have been under the patronage of the Purkersdorf manor. In 1333, the Purkersdorf parish became the patron church and patron parish of the Habsburgs. Our parish church, dedicated to St. James, was destroyed by the Turks in 1529 and 1683. The church burned in 1805 and 1842. In 1935 an extension was built. The ceremonial consecration of the expanded church took place on July 12, 1936. Since 1727 the church has also been a pilgrimage church with the miraculous image “Comforter of the Afflicted”. The rectory was also destroyed several times; The current building has existed since 1782. A separate parish hall was built in 1976; Parish events take place there.
