Moderate Hiking Trails near Vienna

There are 90 hikes near Vienna in our database that fit. They average 8.8 km and 177 m (581 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 18.1 km.

That is 48 percent of the 188 routes we map near Vienna. They are shorter than the local average, 8.8 km against 29.3 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 177 m (581 ft) against 374 m (1,227 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. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
