Grapes are grown on the slopes of the [[Wienerwald, Austria|Wienerwald]]; the area is called ''Thermenregion'', where one can find much ''[[Heurigen]]'' (the most recent year's wine).

[[Wiener Neudorf]] to the east, and [[Maria Enzersdorf]] to the north, merge directly into Mödling. South of Mödling is [[Gumpoldskirchen]], separated by the [[Eichkogel]] with its very special flora. In the west, a narrow street runs through [[Vorderbrühl]], formally a village in its own rights, and leads to [[Hinterbrühl]].  This narrow valley is called Klausen, above it the remains of the Mödling castle, once belonging to the [[Babenberger]], the then-ruling family. On the other side of the Klausen is the Kalenderberg, with the [[Liechtenstein Castle (Maria Enzersdorf)|castle of Liechtenstein]] on its far side. The beginning of the Klausen is marked by the large red-brick aqueduct of the ''Erste Wiener Hochquellenwasserleitung''. The steep, rocky valley sides of the ''[[Naturpark Föhrenberge]]'' grow the typical ''Wienerwald-Schwarzföhren'' (the ''austriaca'' [[form (botany)|form]]<!-- "var." in de:, but the variety austriaca also includes the Balkans form dalmatica --> of the [[European Black Pine]], ''Pinus nigra'').
