Wienerwald Lake, the Tullnerbach Cultural Trail and the architectural history of Postberg reveal different sides of Untertullnerbach. For planning, the rules at the lake, the character of individual routes and the rail connection are especially useful to know.
Wienerwald Lake: paths and clear rules
Wienerwald Lake lies in a water protection zone; swimming and ice skating are prohibited there. Around the lake, there are well-marked and well-maintained paths used by walkers and recreational athletes. At weekends, the promenade path is also used by sports and fitness enthusiasts. If you are planning a visit to the lake, bear these restrictions in mind when choosing activities: the network of paths provides the setting for walks and recreational sports, not the water.
Cultural trail and architectural history
The Tullnerbach Cultural Trail comprises 16 cultural stops and ends at the Wilhelm Kress monument. The monument stands on the northern shore of Wienerwald Lake, right at the beginning of the dam. It was unveiled on 5 October 1913, destroyed at the end of the Second World War and restored in 1954. Thus, at the end of the cultural trail, there is a precisely identifiable location and a history that spans its unveiling, destruction and restoration.
The architectural history of Postberg can also be traced through specific names and dates. The Postvilla was built there around the turn of the century by architect and master builder Franz Peydl. At the entrance to the Irenental valley, Postberg is home to a villa development dating from 1906 to 1913. Together, these two details illustrate different scales of construction: a single building and a villa development.
Sports and paths around the town
The Club Naturaktiv offers a range of sporting activities, particularly archery at one of Austria’s largest facilities. If you are considering taking part, check the operator’s current participation information before your trip. The grounds of the naturaktiv ZENTRUM host nature conservation projects and various events. For these, too, check the operator’s current participation information in advance.
The Tullnerbach–Irenental connecting route is a mountain bike tour that starts in Untertullnerbach. In the Postbergsiedlung, it climbs steeply and leads to a narrow forest path at the end of Heinrich-Uebell-Gasse. These details help you assess the nature of the route: the climb and the narrow forest path are specific points to consider when planning.
Getting here and finding your way
Unter Tullnerbach railway station is on the Western Railway line between Linz and Vienna. The S50 suburban railway runs every half hour to Neulengbach and Vienna West station. As services may change, check the timetable before travelling. Wienerwald Lake is about a 15-minute walk from Unter Tullnerbach station. This approximate walking time is a useful guide if you are planning to arrive by train and visit the lake; the current timetable is the key reference for the connection itself.
