カルテンロイトゲベンのおすすめツーリングルート

Mayerling Hunting Lodge, located in the Vienna Woods, was owned by Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria from 1886. On January 30, 1889, the so-called Mayerling Tragedy occurred there, in which Crown Prince Rudolf and Baroness Mary Vetsera were found dead. The event profoundly shook the Habsburg Monarchy and is considered one of the most significant historical turning points in Austrian history. By order of Emperor Franz Joseph I, the hunting lodge was closed later that same year and converted into a Carmelite monastery for Discalced Carmelite nuns. The present-day Carmelite monastery of Mayerling still exists today and includes a monastery church built on the site of Rudolf's former bedroom. In addition to its contemplative monastic life, the complex is open to the public and conveys the historical significance of the site and the background of the events at Mayerling in exhibition rooms and a visitor center.

The St. John Nepomuk Chapel on Promenadeweg in Vienna's Liesing district was built in 1766 and is now a listed building. It is a brick wayside shrine with a basket-arch opening, pilaster framing, and triangular pediment. Inside, a statue of St. John Nepomuk in canon's habit, holding a cross, is placed. With its Baroque design and tranquil location on the Liesingbach stream, the small chapel is an atmospheric testament to popular religious piety of the 18th century and a striking eye-catcher along Promenadeweg.

A place steeped in history, a must-see

Vienna has the best tap water because it comes directly and fresh from the mountains via the Hochquelle pipeline to Vienna.

Great food - great value for money. Charging the e-bike battery was no problem. Friendly staff and very fast service.

Heiligenkreuz Abbey, with its significant history and beautiful buildings, is worth a visit. Many parts of the abbey can only be visited with a guided tour. The squares and churches are freely accessible.
