Easy hike through vineyards to the viewing platform on the Gobelsberg, which offers a magnificent panoramic view as far as the foothills of the Alps.
South of Gobelsburg, there is a viewing tower on the Gobelsberg (303 m), which is easily accessible from the town center and is ideal for families with children (also easily accessible with baby carriages). The lookout tower offers a magnificent panoramic view from the Tulln basin across the Danube valley to the foothills of the Alps. With good visibility, you can even count up to 37 church spires.
Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your fitness level. Check if the restaurants you want to visit on the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and maps in your backpack.
