Hiking to the Vienna Woods

That's not a grammatical error! I hiked "to" the Vienna Woods today. Unfortunately it had been raining earlier this morning, so the ground was still wet. I was in major need of some outdoors time though, so I decided to hike at least "to" the Vienna Woods and check out some of what was around. I came across a sign for the Wiener Wein Weg (Vienna Wine Trail) which I will have to check out later once the weather is not so wet. This is on the outskirts of the 19th district of Vienna, but the Vienna Woods are actually about 1000 sq km. Only a portion of it is actually in Vienna. There are hiking and biking trails all over the place which I intend to take advantage of in the coming weeks, and the views were spectacular. This is the highest point in the city of Vienna, and is also the start of the Alps (foothills). The last picture is nothing special, just a house that I liked which overlooked the valley in the previous pictures.
