The Kahlengebirge is a mountain range in the northern Vienna Woods and the northeasternmost branch of the Eastern Alps , which extends as far as the Danube .

The largely forested range of hills includes the mountains Hermannskogel , Vogelsangberg , Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg from west to east . To the north the range of hills is bounded by the Weidlingbach and to the west by the so-called trench. The highest elevation is the 542 m high Hermannskogel with the Habsburg tower . From the easternmost mountain, the Leopoldsberg, one overlooks three European mountain systems: the Alps , the Carpathians and the Bohemian Central Massif .

Geologically, the Kahlengebirge belongs to the flysch zone , which is composed of quartz and limestone , marl and other sediments .

Since the suburbs of Vienna were incorporated in 1891, the ridge of the Kahlengebirge has been the border between Vienna and Lower Austria ( Klosterneuburg ).
