Stadtwanderweg 4: Dehnepark & Jubiläumswarte
Up through the Dehnepark to the Jubiläumswarte. From the tower the view runs across the whole west of the city, on a clear day as far as the Schneeberg.
The trail can be walked straight from the browser, with nothing to install: the map follows along, and the chapters name the neighbourhood you are crossing. More telling than the kilometres is the doorstep — this is how living looks where the trail runs.

The trail in chapters
- 1Start: Rettichgasse (Straßenbahn 49)The opening stays flat: barely any height change over the first 1.7 km. 8.5 km in total; the City of Vienna reckons 2.5 to 3 hours.
- 2The highest pointThe summit sits at about 450 m. Across the whole trail some 250 m of ascent add up — which is why it takes longer than the kilometres suggest.
- 3HütteldorfThe ground rises here — 55 m above the basin, with the long evening light that comes with a slope. Hütteldorfer Straße carries the traffic here; the mapping puts a good part of the area above the reporting threshold.
- 4Finish: Rettichgasse (Straßenbahn 49)Back where you started: the loop closes here, and the same public transport you came on takes you home. Along the way lay Hütteldorf, each neighbourhood with its own Living Score.
The chapters are the housing lens on the official trail: what is measured for the neighbourhood you are crossing. We have not walked the trail ourselves.
