Semmering
Semmering is a small mountain resort on a pass between Lower Austria and Styria, about 100 km south of Vienna. It became a retreat for Viennese society in the 19th century, after the railway opened, and grand villas and hotels still line the slope.
The Semmering railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the main reason to visit. The area also has forest walks, small ski slopes and views towards the Rax and Schneeberg mountains.

Viennese families built villas and hotels, and the resort flourished before the First World War. Today the railway, the villas and the forest are the main attractions.
