What You’ll Experience

1

Puchberg am Schneeberg

Schneeberg

Enjoy a relaxing hike through mountain meadows with stunning alpine views. Do as the Viennese do: take in the sweeping scenery of valleys and peaks before sitting down for a hearty lunch in a traditional mountain hut. Start with a warming beef noodle soup or a baked cauliflower appetizer. For your main dish, choose between slow-roasted pork belly with sauerkraut and dumplings or a flavorful vegetarian lentil stew. Finish with homemade strudel—apple, cream cheese, or blackberry—served with your choice of wine, beer, or soda, plus a cup of coffee.
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
3

Rust

After descending from the mountains, continue your journey to Lake Neusiedl and the charming town of Rust—Austria’s smallest town. Known for its historic squares, outstanding local wines, and resident storks that nest on the rooftops, Rust offers a peaceful and picturesque contrast to the alpine scenery.
2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
4

Lake Neusiedl

Take a leisurely walk through Rust’s baroque streets and lively town squares before enjoying a final tasting by the lake—a regional platter of local ham, cheese, and sausages, paired with two glasses of exceptional wine from nearby vineyards. After a short drive back to Vienna, you’ll return with unforgettable memories and plenty of photos from your day of alpine and lakeside discovery.
