Laab in the forest is a community in Vienna Woods, with access to Lainzer Tiergarten.
background
Laab is located in a side valley of the Liesingbach valley. The Lower Austrian part of the Lainzer Tiergarten belongs to Laab and is accessible directly north of the village via the Laaber Tor. The village was first mentioned in 1200. The second Viennese spring water pipeline runs through the community. In 1938 Laab was incorporated into Greater Vienna together with numerous other surrounding communities, but in 1954 it was outsourced to Lower Austria.
