Are you lacking the necessary motivation for a hike? The Vienna Hiking Pass, which is free of charge, can help you. For every successfully completed hiking path, you receive a stamp at one of the official stamp stations. This hiking pass is a great way to motivate children in particular to exercise in the countryside – making hiking a pleasure for young and old alike!
Avid hikers who collect stamps are rewarded with hiking pins – a silver pin for three stamps, a gold pin for seven stamps and a platinum pin awaits hikers who have completed all the hikes. You can pick up the hiking pins free of charge at Vienna City Hall (City Information) when you present your hiking pass. The hiking pass is available at the city information office or can be downloaded online.
