Official city hiking trail 1a
City hiking trail 1a: Leopoldsberg
Up the Nasenweg to the hill where Vienna ends in a cliff above the Danube.
The shorter sister of the Kahlenberg trail: from Kahlenbergerdorf the Nasenweg switchbacks up the slope to the Leopoldsberg. At the top, church and castle wall stand right above the river, the most direct summit view in the city.
Getting there: S40, D, 400 to Wien Nußdorf, 30 m to the trailhead. Way back from Wien Kahlenbergerdorf (400), 72 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 312 m of climbing and 310 m of descent, between 162 and 455 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 anyone short on time but keen on a real climb: a lot of view over a short distance. The Nasenweg is narrow but well laid out.
This is not a loop: start and finish are apart, with the S-Bahn linking both ends. The Nasenweg gets slippery when wet.
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: 95% green along the built-up stretches · along open water · 61% quiet · 312 m of climbing.
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.
