Döbling

Wine villages and the Kahlenberg

Döbling holds Vienna's best-known wine villages, the Kahlenberg lookout and the long Karl-Marx-Hof.

Heiligenstadt and Grinzing sit at the foot of the hills with Heurigen in old courtyards. In Heiligenstadt the Beethoven Museum marks the house where he wrote his Heiligenstadt Testament in 1802. The Karl-Marx-Hof next to the Heiligenstadt station is the best-known municipal housing complex of Red Vienna.

Above the villages the road climbs to the Kahlenberg and the Leopoldsberg, where terraces look across the city and the Danube. The Cobenzl and the Nussberg add more viewpoints, and the football ground on the Hohe Warte belongs to First Vienna FC.

Getting there

The U4 and the S-Bahn end at Heiligenstadt, and tram D runs to Nußdorf. Buses 38A and 37A go up to Grinzing and the Kahlenberg.
