Hiking in the Bucklige Welt region
South of Vienna, the "Wiener Alpenbogen" fans out. It rises from the basin of Wiener Neustadt with the Bucklige Welt, climbs over the high pastures of the Wechsel (called Schwaigen) up to Semmering, reaches its peaks with Rax and Schneeberg, and sinks back to Wiener Neustadt in an arch-like manner over the Hohe Wand.
