Excursion to Vienna Woods

This excursion takes us south of the Vienna Woods. Passing by the Höldrichsmühle, the summer residence of the famous composer Franz Schubert, we will arrive at Heiligenkreuz, a Cistercian monastery notable for its medieval cloister. We will continue our journey to the small village of Mayerling, the former hunting lodge of the Imperial family and a tragic location known for the deaths of Crown Prince Rudolf and his mistress Mary Vetsera. Through the romantic St. Helena Valley, we will reach the charming spa town of Baden, where we will take a short walk. We will return to Vienna via the wine-growing region of Gumpoldskirchen.
