How to get to the nature park

Quick and easy by public transport!

From the Kellerwiese entrance to the Deutschwald Nature Park Centre

  • On foot from Kellerwiese: From the Kellerwiese entrance, the nature trail leads to the Deutschwald wildlife enclosures in around 30 minutes.
  • By bike: From Purkersdorf’s main square, the Wiental Cycle Route heads west. Turn south onto Deutschwaldstraße and follow the road for about 1 km until you reach Hyrtlgasse, just past Gasthaus Klugmayer. Follow the short stretch of Hyrtlgasse and, immediately behind it at the end of Rudolf-Hanke-Gasse, you’ll find the entrance to the nature park.
  • Car: Travelling by car is not recommended due to the limited parking available. If necessary, you can reach the entrance in the Deutschwald district from the P&R car park on the B44 by continuing along the B44 for about 0.5 km, then travelling about 1 km via Deutschwaldstraße and Rudolf-Hanke-Gasse (satellite navigation address: 3002 Rudolf-Hanke-Gasse 12).
