geography

The Bärenberg is located in the west of the Lainzer Tiergarten in the cadastral municipality of Auhof on the green Vienna city limits to Laab im Walde . A few kilometers away, past the Diebsgraben of the Teutonic Order Forest , you come through the Laaber Tor and the Dianator into the nature reserve of the zoo. The long city hiking trail 4 leads past the northern slope of the Bärenberg to the much-visited Kaltbründlberg , to the Hirschgstemm refuge and further north. In the south, the mountain range runs to the Laaber Kaiserzipf and the meadows at the Gütenbachtor. The sandstone mountain is part of the Vienna Woods Mountains , the northeastern foothills of the Eastern Alps .
history
The Bärenberg is first documented in 1819 in the Franciscan tax version as Barn Berg . There are two possible interpretations of the origin of the name. The first is the derivation of the name after the bear , Middle High German bër . Another possible interpretation is the Middle High German word barn , which means just to be or to be bar . This could have been used to describe a mountain peak that was originally bare of vegetation, although its now thick vegetation speaks against it.
