Sport is more fun in groups – the InterCityHotels also realises this. You will be welcome with your entire Nordic-Walking group in our hotels and we can advise you on the best walking routes that will really “make your mouth water”. If you are in the need of a professional trainer, we will also gladly reserve one for you and your group. Or come alone – the InterCityHotels also have amazing walking routes for those who prefer to be active by themselves in the fresh air and surrounded by beautiful nature. Ideal for beginners or advanced walkers!
Walk around the former imperial hunting grounds of the “Vienna Prater” and take in the various sightseeing attractions. From the train station “Praterstern“, grab your walking-poles and follow the 13 km route that takes you past the "Schutzhaus Wasserwiese”, the “Lusthaus” and the “Jägerhaus” (hunter’s house). After 3 or 4 hours walk you can make a well deserved break in one of the numerous "Gasthäuser” (guest houses) in “Wurstelprater”.
The relaxing "Donauinsel” (an island in the Danube River), that is free of cars, is a paradise for Nordic Walkers. Offering 390 hectares of green vegetation, it is also loved by sun worshipers. The side facing the city of Vienna has been lovingly named by the Viennese as “Copa Cagrana”, after the suburb of "Kagran”. Every year in June, a famous 3 day island festival (“Donauinselfest”) takes place, attracting millions of visitors from all over Europe.
