Am Scherffenberg

The Türkenschanzpark, officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1888, is rightly considered one of the most beautiful parks in the former imperial capital of Vienna. Just a 5-minute walk away, the park offers wonderful walking paths and marvellous views of the surrounding area - especially from the now restored Paulin Tower. Also within walking distance - or even easier by tram - is the Pötzleinsdorfer Schlosspark at the end of Gersthofer Straße, which is designed in the style of an English landscape garden. Long privately owned, the park, which is now a nature reserve, was finally opened to the public in 1935 and is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Vienna.
