Tourist attraction
Aussichtsplattform Kahlenberg
Am Kahlenberg 3, 1190 Wien
Hilltop lookout above vineyards and forest, with a sweeping panorama over the Danube and the city below.
This guide to Aussichtsplattform Kahlenberg in Vienna opens with a puzzle: for centuries, visitors have been cheering the story of the 1683 siege on the wrong mountain. It revisits the legend of Marco d'Aviano's Mass before the battle, with the Polish king Jan Sobieski serving as altar boy, and the baroque chapel built here to commemorate it. From this platform, four hundred eighty-four meters up, the vineyards and the bend of the Danube spread out below you.
