6 March 2016: Why is that there? (2)

Description:

This is the second in a planned series of hikes exploring changes (and persistent features) in the landscape by comparing the present 1:25.000 topographic map with Austrian topographic survey maps of the 18th and 19th centuries. This time we will walk from Vienna’s 19th district to… Vienna’s 19th district making a huge detour via a railway line on top of a stream, old factory sites and a Dutch hamlet to a nice Heuriger.

Kratzlgasse РHackenberg РSalmannsdorfer H̦he РDreimarkstein РToiflbauer (lunch) РHameau РSalmannsdorf or Neustift.

Meet:

In front of Krottenbachstrasse S-45 station, by the advertising column, 11.00 (bus 35A also stops there).

Return:

By 35a bus from Salmannsdorf/Neustift, around 17.00. Max number: 5.
Cost:

Local transport.
