The Vienna Woods mainly consist of beeches and oaks
but there are also large areas with pine trees.
The smell of the dry warm earth and the pines was so delightful!
Yellow spots on a small clearing attracted my attention.
These yellow flowers and wild iris were growing in the meadow.
Even the grass was blooming.
As we walked on, we found lilies of the valley (Maiglöckchen)
and wild garlic (Bärlauch) blooming side by side!
I add the blooming peach trees
and the cherry trees only for the sake of completeness :)
Its unusual that all these flowers and trees bloom at the same time.
The summerly temperatures of the last ten days are to blame!
Today we walked from Baden, which is about 30 miles South of Vienna,
to the neighboring town of Gumpoldskirchen.
Due to the warm climate, even the red wine is delicious here,
and vintners offer their wines in their own taverns, the "Heurigen".

After a four hours' walk we descend from the hills of the Vienna Woods
and have a last look over the wineyards towards the plains of the Vienna Basin.
Thank you for joining us on our trip! I hope you did not get sunburned :)
We almost did!

I wish I could join you for a walk in those woods.
The pine across the path was familiar and nice slice of trekking to me.
What wonders of spring you encountered in the woods. The trees bursting into leaf and the wildflowers, evem Lily of the Valley which normally blooms in may. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your Spring with the rest of us.
I love your tours! It's so beautiful where you live!
That's a nice trail and some very pretty flowers you found along the way. Thanks for trip.
Schöne Bilder von einer sympatischen Gegend - und hinterher ein Heurigenbesuch, so läßt es sich leben.
Gorgeous spring flowers. Are they all really wild in the woods? That seems a tremendous variety. What a lovely walk you must have had.
A delightful walk Maria, thank you for taking us with you. Your photos were great and I hope by now your sunburn has healed.
Bonsoir Maria;
Wonderful pictures of Nature.
I like particularly this curved pine tree.
I well-understand how Vienna's inhabitants come to find a peaceful place to breathe. We do the same. It's a need sometime.
Thanks for the tour.
Wonderful photos of the woods and your hike. I never tire of visting here with your part of the world.
