Mödling: old town and the edge of the Vienna Woods

How close is the Vienna Woods when you move to the outskirts?

Twenty minutes by train from Vienna lies a small town with a medieval core, and five minutes past the pedestrian zone the Vienna Woods begin. The walk leads from the station through the old town and on through the rocky gorge of the Mödling stream into the Vorderbrühl.

Who this walk is for

For the city-weary who want to stay connected: a house or period flat with the forest at the door and a frequent S-Bahn. Without a car, everyday life still takes more planning.

Good to know

Mödling is the outskirts: more quiet, green and space for your money, but without a car you rely on train and bus. The city is about 20 minutes away by S-Bahn.
