Description
Saturday, 3 October 2026, 2:00–7:00 p.m. (open end)
Our official conference image features one of Vienna’s most beautiful panoramic views—the vineyards of the Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) glowing in their autumn colours. On 3 October 2026, we invite you to experience this landscape in person.
Join us for a relaxed two-hour hike along a shortened section of Vienna’s City Hiking Trail 2 ( Stadtwanderweg 2 ), offering magnificent panoramic views over Vienna and its surrounding vineyards.
The hike concludes with a convivial gathering at Waldgrill Cobenzl, where we will bring the conference to a pleasant close in a relaxed atmosphere.
This excursion is much more than a traditional social event—it brings the visual identity of EURALEX Austria 2026 to life and offers our guests an unforgettable experience of Vienna in the golden colours of autumn.
The hike follows a shortened (approximately two-hour) section of City Hiking Trail 2 and does not include the ascent to Hermannskogel.
