Nature park of Purkersdorf

Purkersdorf Nature Park is located on the edge of the Vienna metropolitan area and is easily and quickly accessible by public transport. Here, all visitors can rediscover nature and experience it with all their senses.

The Purkersdorf Nature Park is pure nature and not just an experience for families, but for everyone who wants to discover the Vienna Woods.
The green antechamber of Vienna surrounds a wooded area with extensive beech forests and the Rudolfswarte (475m) as the highest elevation. Water stations, a large animal enclosure with sheep, goats and donkeys as well as three game enclosures, themed trails, play areas and the nature discovery trail provide a good overview of the fauna and flora.
An enrichment is the "Blind Date" theme trail, which sensitizes the senses to nature at any time of year.

Showcase museum in the nature park

The Wienerwaldhaus in the Deutschwald forest is also located next to the Nature Park Center: the "First Austrian Self-Service Shop Window Museum". It provides an insight into the living quarters of the Wienerwald farmers as they lived and worked 100 years ago. The covered outdoor area shows woodworking in the forest. The museum is open from April to October (subject to change).
