Doppelreiterwarte Viewing Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Doppelreiter observation tower is located at an elevation of 919 meters on the Wolfsbergkogel mountain, on the railway hiking trail that runs along the Semmering Railway in the municipality of Semmering. Just a few minutes' walk from the "20 Schilling" viewing point, you'll once again enjoy breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage Semmering Railway and the surrounding area. A train stop is located just below the Wolfsbergkogel mountain and the observation tower.

20 Schilling View

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the "20 Schilling View" viewing platform you have a fantastic view of two of the Semmering Railway viaducts and the surrounding mountains. Below the viewing platform there are several picnic tables for a break with a panoramic view. The panorama is so beautiful that it used to adorn the Austrian 20-shilling banknote.

View of the Lower Adlitzgraben Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point you have a great view of the 152 meter long and 24 meter high viaduct, which was built between 1848 and 1854. Due to the damp subsoil and the heavy rail traffic, the former slim structure soon had to be reinforced: the pillars on the outside were additionally provided with supports and the vaults were reinforced with inner rings.

Even the approach in the working tunnel is possible, until the barrier immediately before it already speeds past the southern train

Note to self: next time let me know in advance when the train is going back. A lady was so nice and took me back to the car. We would have had to wait 1.5 hours for the train 🙁. The route itself is well signposted and easy to walk. There is a lot to see, the viaducts are very …

Yesterday the southern, today the more beautiful northern Semmering Railway hiking trail in Lower Austria. Some sections seem almost alpine and are not bad at all. There are always views of viaducts and galleries, and something special is the so-called "20 Schilling View" with a view of the 184-meter-long "Kalte Rinne" viaduct, which was shown on the back of the …

Beautiful and very varied hiking trail. Afterwards you understand the technical masterpiece of the Semmering Railway (even) better. With the "20-schilling view" it is quite nostalgic. 😀
