#celebrateit Vienna Woods is one of Austria’s best places because of its abundance of flora-fauna and proximity to the city. When locals want to get away from it all, they drive to Vienna Woods to spend some time in the lap of nature. It is a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and is home to 150 species of birds, 2000 animals, and various plants. The best part is that it is accessible from Vienna via public transport.

Entering the Pressbaum area, the view is truly breathtaking. An Asian restaurant recommended by a friend. 🍣 It's a buffet, but the food is clean and the value is amazing. 🍱 #HotPlace #Austria #Pressbaum #AsianRestaurant
