Hiking

The Genoveva Fountain near the Hermesvilla in the Lainz Tiergarten is a Baroque fountain created in 1885 by the Austrian sculptor Viktor Tilgner. It is located in the courtyard of the Hermesvilla, a former Habsburg hunting lodge that now serves as a museum. The fountain depicts the scene of Genoveva of Brabant being rescued by a doe—a motif that reflects the Romantic longing for nature and freedom. The Genoveva Fountain is a striking example of 19th-century art and a worthwhile stop for art and history buffs.
