Vienna Woods - Wienerwald

Japanese: ウィーンの森 - うぃーんのもり(英語表記)Wienerwald
Vienna Woods - Wienerwald

This mountain range is located at the northeastern edge of the European Alps, on the outskirts of Vienna, the capital of Austria. It belongs to the flysch (sandstone) zone that is unique to the northern Alps, but part of the southeastern part is made up of limestone. The highest peak is Mount Schepple (890 meters). It is bordered to the west by the Grosse Thuring River, to the north by the Turnerfeld River and the Danube River, to the east by the Vienna Basin, and to the south by the Triesting and Gelsen Rivers. The northeastern part belongs to the Vienna city area, and is connected by the highland motorway, making it a resort area for Viennese citizens to have villas and take walks. The eastern slopes are covered with vineyards, the northern slopes with beech forests interspersed with pastures, and the southern slopes with pine forests. This area was a protected forest and no-hunting zone for a long time, so a rich natural environment remains.

ヨーロッパ・アルプス北東端の山地で、オーストリアの首都ウィーンの郊外にある。アルプス北部特有のフリッシュ(砂岩)帯に属するが、一部南東部は石灰岩からなる。最高峰はシェップル山(890メートル)。西はグローセ・トゥリン川、北はトゥルナーフェルト川とドナウ川、東はウィーン盆地、南はトリースティングとゲルゼンの両河川で境される。北東部はウィーン市域に属し、高原自動車道が通じており、ウィーン市民の別荘地、散策地となっている。東斜面にはブドウ畑、北斜面は牧草地の散在するブナ林、南斜面はマツ林である。ここは長らく保護林、禁猟区であったため、豊かな自然が残っている。
