Haus Helenenstein
The place
Naturfreunde refuge in the Wienerwald — probably the Höllensteinhaus (DB lists 170 m, a surprisingly low value given that the Höllensteinhaus is at 645 m, to be double-checked). A Naturfreunde Österreich refuge house located on the summit of the Höllenstein (645 m) in the municipality of Kaltenleutgeben (Lower Austria), close to Vienna. Surrounded by the Wienerwald Biosphere Reserve and the Föhrenberge Nature Park. A good, airy base for nature getaways by public transport from Vienna. Capacity: one single room, one double room and 20 dormitory places. The Julienturm stage is nearby, a panoramic viewpoint.
Getting there
Public transport from Vienna (Kaltenleutgeben).
The setting
Wienerwald, summit of the Höllenstein (~645 m), UNESCO reserve.
