Vienna Woods – Mayerling – Heiligenkreuz – Subterranean Lake
This half-day excursion shows you the most interesting sights in the southern part of the Vienna Woods. Passing the Roman town of Baden, which is famous for its thermal springs, we travel through the romantic Helenental to the former Mayerling hunting lodge (visit the memorial chapel), where in 1889 Crown Prince Rudolf met his tragic end together with Baroness Mary Vetsera. At the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz (1133) we will visit the medieval cloister with the tomb of the last Babenberger. We then pass the Höldrichsmühle and arrive at the subterranean lake. Following a boat trip on the largest underground lake in Europe, we will leave the Vienna Woods and return to Vienna, where the tour ends at the Opera.
