Comments:
Extremely easy to reach using public transportation from the center of Vienna.
Very easy trail, and a nice alternative to city-touring when in Vienna.
With a couple of minor modifications, the trail could be baby carriage-friendly (and a bit shorter). (Remain on Senderstrasse from the Parkplatz Senderstrasse to the Magdalenenhof; and avoid Mitterhaidenweg by turning right (vice left) once at Hagenbrunnerstrasse, to follow In dem Gabrissenen to where it rejoins the trail on Luckenholzgasse.)
