About Schöpfl
The Schöpfl in Lower Austria is the highest mountain in the Vienna Woods. It is mostly covered by deciduous forest. On its summit is the Matraswarte , from which, in good weather, you can see the highest mountains in Lower Austria, the Schneeberg and the Rax. Because of the purity of the air and the much lower light pollution compared to Vienna, the University of Vienna 's Leopold Figl Observatory was built in 1969 on the Mitteröpfl, a nearby secondary summit.Address : Schöpfl, 3053, Austria
