If you’re looking for a serious thrill this year, you don’t have to travel far. Just about 2 hours from Vienna, there’s a zipline that whisks you down into the valley at speeds of up to 120 km/h. First, your heart races as you climb, before gravity takes over and gives you about 90 seconds of pure wind in your face.
A thrilling descent for the whole crew
This is the Annaberg Zipline, which stretches across Hennesteck in Lower Austria. Because the structure features four parallel cables, you can even launch with up to four people at the same time. Although the ride is fast, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the view over the Lower Austrian alpine meadows.
Since the route spans an impressive 1.4 kilometers, you’ll cover a substantial 386 meters in elevation during the ride. The experience is also suitable for families, provided the children meet the minimum height requirement. However, you should check the exact weight limits in advance to ensure everything goes smoothly at the start.

Save with the NÖ-CARD and enjoy more alpine adventures
There’s also good news for those watching their wallets, as the ride normally costs around €40. However, if you’re a holder of a Niederösterreich-CARD, you’ll receive a hefty 20 percent discount on your zipline ride.
Apart from that, getting there is straightforward, making it perfect for a spontaneous weekend getaway. Once you’ve landed in the valley, the local restaurants invite you to enjoy a cozy snack. While the action is the main attraction, a relaxing end to the day is simply part of the Austrian experience.
Finally, the region around the zipline offers even more activities for a day trip during the current summer season. For example, the little ones can go on a discovery tour at Niki’s Alm Adventure, while teens can let off steam in the mini bike park. So the trip is definitely worth it for all ages.
