Official city hiking trail 11
City hiking trail 11: Urban council-housing trail
The urban one of the series: Red Vienna architecture instead of forest.
The only thoroughly urban trail of the series: from Reumannplatz through Favoriten and across the Gürtel into Margareten, past the council blocks of Red Vienna. An architecture walk through a hundred years of social housing.
Getting there: U4, 6, 18 to Wien Margaretengürtel, 91 m to the trailhead. Way back from Wien Reumannplatz (U1, 6, 11, 14A, 66A), 131 m.
The official route and its data
The coloured line is the official route by the City of Vienna, unchanged. Toggle a data layer, or tap anywhere on the map to see trees, noise, heat and travel times for that exact spot.

About 36 m of climbing and 2 m of descent, between 179 and 214 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data; walking time uses the standard hiking formula (4 km/h plus 300 m of climb per hour).
For the housing-curious in the literal sense: nowhere else does Vienna’s housing history explain itself this densely. Works in bad weather too.
The trail runs through dense city, partly along loud roads: this one is about buildings and history, not quiet.
What changes along the way
Every 200 metres of the trail, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The curves run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: almost completely flat.
Values are 0 to 100 per 250 m residential cell. Forest and fields have no cells, so the profile honestly pauses there; curves only appear once they cover at least half the trail. Source: official heat map, environmental noise map, green-space proximity, footfall and own transit routing.
