Nussdorf: the Beethoven trail
The house where Beethoven wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament, the stream path he walked, and a Heuriger to finish. This is a Claude-drafted route awaiting the editor's walk.

1. Heiligenstadt (U4)
The end of the U4, where the city thins into the wine slopes. Walk up and west into the old village core; the modern station is behind you within minutes.

2. Pfarrplatz and the Beethoven house
A small triangular square around the *Pfarrkirche St. Michael*. Beethoven lodged here in 1817; the better-known lodging is the one where he wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament in 1802, despairing of his deafness. The square still feels like a village, not a city district.

3. Mayer am Pfarrplatz
The *Heuriger* on the square, in the house tied to Beethoven's stay. Worth knowing it's here for the end of the walk; the courtyard is the place to land. Closed some midweek days off-season — check.

4. Beethovengang (Schreiberbach)
The shaded path the composer walked for his nerves, the *Schreiberbach* running alongside under plane trees. There's a bust of him partway along. This is the quietest stretch of the whole walk.

5. The vineyard edge
Where the trees give out, the vines begin and the slope opens toward *Kahlenberg*. You don't have to climb — just stand where the woods meet the rows and look back down over the rooftops.

6. Nussdorf (tram D terminus)
Down through *Nussdorf* to the end of the D — the tram that runs all the way back to the *Ring* and the opera. A *Heuriger* near the terminus makes a fair last stop before you board.
