フェーレンベルゲ自然公園の湖・トップ7

The Kaltenleutgeben quarry lake lies idyllically nestled between steep rock faces and dense forest, shimmering in rich shades of green and blue on sunny days. Along the shore, you'll find lovely spots for a break with views of the water and the former quarry face. Please observe the local regulations – swimming and cycling are restricted or partially prohibited in the lake area.

The Karl Zechmeister Pond is a small, tranquil forest pond, ideal for a short break in nature. From the shoreline and benches, you can gaze across the still water and observe dragonflies, frogs, and birds. Perfect for switching off for a few minutes before continuing your hike through the woods.

An idyllic forest pond with a small viewing platform offering a direct view of the still water. Dragonflies, frogs, and waterfowl provide a front-row seat to nature's wonders. The perfect spot for a peaceful break, a photo, and a few minutes of relaxation in the shade of the trees.

The Fairy Tale Pond at the Meiereiwiese, a natural gem in transition. In 1999, the former deputy mayor of Mödling, Pepi Wagner, launched an ambitious project with the Fairy Tale Pond at the lower Meiereiwiese. His goal was to reflect the majestic Mödling Castle in a picturesque way in the water and create an attractive recreational area for the citizens. But after 20 years, nature has reclaimed the area, and the former charm of the artificial landscape has almost completely faded. A dense belt of reeds now protects the diverse flora and fauna from the view of hikers. In this protected biotope, it is particularly important to respect nature. Clear rules apply: dogs are not welcome, feeding the ducks is forbidden, and releasing goldfish harms the delicate water quality. To preserve the harmony of this unique habitat, every visitor should heed these requests. Only in this way will the Fairy Tale Pond remain a place of tranquility.

A little cooling for the dog

Unfortunately, you can hardly see anything of the pond due to the high reeds.

The Seegrotte Hinterbrühl is a former gypsum mine near Vienna that has become a show mine and a popular attraction. The Seegrotte has an eventful history, ranging from mining to the Second World War to a film set. The main attraction is the largest underground lake in Europe, where you can take a romantic boat trip. The sea grotto is open all year round and is a unique experience whatever the weather.

石切り場湖へのアクセスは現在禁止されており、ほとんど不可能になっています。フェンスと人工的な溝がこれを妨げています。さらに、この地域は、（ペルヒトルツドルフ市からの委託により）民間の警備会社によって時折監視されています。30年前には石切り場があり、操業を放棄したために湖ができました。当時は生態系は保護に値しませんでした。今では人々を締め出しています。
