Nice wooden bridge that fits very well into the area and blends wonderfully with the surrounding nature.

As early as 1650, 3 crosses stood on the small plateau above Gaadener Straße, in memory of the Calvary in Jerusalem. In 1670, some Viennese citizens then erected a chapel on this spot, known as Bergl or Schneiderbergl, in honor of the Crucified, and in 1671, Abbot Klemens Schäffer had a hermit's hut built next to it. During the Turkish invasion in 1683, the so-called "Berglkapelle" was destroyed, but it was rebuilt just 2 years later with donations from Viennese citizens. In 1728, the "Kirchl auf dem Schneiderbergl" was repaired by the master carpenter from Heiligenkreuz, Aegidius Bauer; a staircase to the mountain is also mentioned. Thus, it can be assumed that the later staircase construction is connected to it.

The magnificent baroque Stations of the Cross with the 13 chapels of the stations and the main chapel of the 12th station were built between 1731 and 1748. The initiator and builder was Abbot Robert Leeb, who had this Stations of the Cross created in memory of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. As a young priest, Abbot Robert had seen the real Stations of the Cross in Jerusalem in 1719 and had walked it himself with great emotion. In 1729, he now considered the plan to create a Stations of the Cross in Heiligenkreuz based on the model in Jerusalem. Building permission was granted to him in 1731 by a declaration from Pope Clement XII. https://www.stift-heiligenkreuz.org/sehenswuerdigkeiten/der-barocke-kreuzweg/

The installation consists of several expressively designed figure groups (Jesus; angel with the chalice of suffering; group of sleeping apostles), placed scattered on a hill. "Sleeping apostles at the foot of the hill (Peter, John, and James the Greater), Christ with the angel on the summit."

The ecologically oriented care and design of the monastery park are a great help to animal and plant species, as suitable habitats are not always easy to find within settlement areas. As diverse green spaces as possible are particularly important for biodiversity in densely built-up areas.

The Old Town Hall in Wiener Neudorf, located at Rathausplatz 1, looks back on a varied history: Built in the 15th century as St. Wolfgang Chapel, the building was extended after destructions in 1750 (tower construction). After 1780 it was used as a school and residential building, and from 1902 until the mid-1970s it served as the town hall.
