Wienfluss Wooden Footbridge, Purkersdorf

Highlight • Bridge

08/15/2022 - I still find wood more beautiful than steel. Nice construction. The Wooden Bridge over the Vienna River is a bicycle and pedestrian bridge that crosses the Vienna River in Purkersdorf, Lower Austria. It was built in 2000 and is 40 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. The bridge is part of the cycle path around Vienna and offers a beautiful view of the river and the Vienna Woods. The bridge is made of larch wood and has a curved shape reminiscent of a fish mouth. The bridge is also a popular meeting point for walkers, joggers and cyclists.

Singers' Fountain

Highlight • Structure

Nice fountain in a small square. Unfortunately, it is not drinking water, but it is always enough to refresh.

Dambach Gravel Path in the Wienerwald Biosphere Reserve

Starting in the north (Neu-Purkersdorf) this segment has an average gradient of 4%, climbing 90m over the course of 2,2km on pretty smooth gravel. In case anyone was wondering how steep »Steilo« is. All things are relative.

St. Hubertus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint Hubert, to whom this Deutschwald chapel is dedicated, lived from 655 to 727 and is a very popular saint, best known as the patron saint of hunters. A stag with a glowing cross between the antlers is said to have appeared to him, which is often shown in Hubertus portraits. This legend was originally attributed to Saint Eustace and over time 'migrated' to Hubertus. His memorial day in the calendar of saints is November 3rd.
