Hernals, the XVII. District, including the villages of Dorn-
bach and Neuwaldegg (p. 78), is adjoined on the N. by the districts of
Währing (XVIII), which lies to the W. of Alsergrund, and Döbling
(XIX). From the Lazaristengasse station of the tram way to Pötzleins-
dorf, we proceed to the N. through the Türkenschanz-Str. (passing
the Observatory; adm. 9-11 a.m.) to the (½ M.) Türkenschanz Park
(Pl. I; C, 1), with a Restaurant (concerts, see p. 7 ) and a Belvedere
(View; adm. all day on Sun., on week-days 4-8 in summer, 2-4 in
winter; 20h.). The villas of the Wiener Cottage- Verein (Pl. I; C, D, 2)
are charmingly situated at the S.E. base of the Türkenschanze.
Döbling includes both Ober-Döbling and Unter-Döbling, to the
S. and N. respectively. From the latter the Hohe Watre, passing
the Central Meteorological Station and the fine Park of Baron
Nathaniel Rothschild (open on Mon. & Frid. afternoon in spring;
1 K.), leads to the N. to Heiligenstadt (Pl. 1; E, 1). Beethoven
lived here at No. 2, Pfarr-Platz. Nussdorf (Bockkeller; Zur Rose;
Brauhaus, opposite the station), farther to the N., is a favourite
pleasure-resort of the Viennese. Rack-and-pinion railway to the
top of the Kahlenberg, see p. 76.
2. Environs of Vienna.
The Left Bamk of the Danube below Vienna is uninteresting, ex-
cepting historically as the scene of the battles of Aspern and Wagram,
fought in 1809 on the Marchfeld (p. 265), a flat agricultural tract bounded
on the E. by the March. (Visitors to the battlefield take the Steam Tram-
way to Aspern, in 1¼ hr.; return-tickets 1 K. 52 or 1 K. 11 h. A stone lion
by Fernkorn marks the battlefield.) The beautiful environs on the Right
Bank, such as the Leopoldsberg, Kahlenberg, Hermannskogel, and Sophien-
Alpe, the picturesque hills of the Wiener Wald, and Laxenburg, Mödling,
Baden, etc., farther to the S., are easily reached by railway. The paths
to the points of interest are generally indicated by coloured marks and
signs, a key to which is sold at the railway-stations. — Excursions by
