Hermannskogel is the highest hill in the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) and its highest natural point – a forested ridge at 542 m. above sea level which lies in Vienna´s 19th district Döbling, on the border with Lower Austria. Atop the Hermannskogel is the 27 m. tall Habsburgwarte observation tower. In Austria-Hungary, the Habsburgwarte (first called the Hermannskogelwarte) was established as the kilometre zero of cartographic measurements. This system was abolished in 1918 when Austria adopted the Gauss–Krüger coordinate system. Today, the Hermannskogel is a popular hiking destination with several paths leading to Vienna´s highest hill. Arguably the most popular is the official Vienna City Hiking Trail 2 – Hermannskogel which takes you from Sievering, passes the Hermannskogel to the popular day trip destination of Cobenzl, Am Himmel and Am Himmel Life Tree Circle, and then back to Sievering. There´s no restaurant or guesthouse on the Hermannskogel, but there are several great guesthouses that you could reach by hiking. The nearest are the Gasthaus Zum Agnesbrünl on the Jägerwiese and the Grüass Di a Gott Wirt, both of which are a 15-20 min. walk (based on an adult´s pace). The Fischerhaus, the Häuserl am Roan, the Häauserl am Stoan, and the Oktogon Am Himmel are a 30-70 min. hike. The peak of Hermannskogel is only reachable by foot or by bike. There are no proper roads or public transportation options. Tt should be possible to traverse to the peak with a good all-terrain pram. Some route sections are challenging with a pram, so we would recommend using a baby carrier or a child carrier hiking backpack.
