Moderate Hiking Trails near Vienna

There are 6 hikes near Vienna in our database that fit. They average 13.0 km and 161 m (528 ft) of ascent.

That is 24 percent of the 25 routes we map near Vienna. They are shorter than the local average, 13.0 km against 133 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 161 m (528 ft) against 1,093 m (3,586 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Moderate routes are the sweet spot for most regular walkers: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to turn into an ordeal. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
