Mödling is a small historic town right up against Vienna to the south, and Beethoven spent seasons here. The pedestrian centre, with the main square and the old town hall, can be explored with four free audioguides and with a Beethoven route in the Locosonic app, which passes his house at Hauptstraße 79, now a memorial. Arnold Schönberg also lived on the Bernhardgasse. The walk ends at the Klausen, where the woodland paths begin.
