The Neptune Fountain in Schönbrunn Palace Gardens was built between 1776 and 1780 based on designs by Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg and executed by the sculptor Wilhelm Beyer. As a monumental culmination of the main avenue, its rich figuration of Neptune, Tritons, Nereids, and seahorses forms a central showpiece of the Baroque gardens. In addition to its decorative effect, the fountain also embodies a symbol of power: Neptune, ruler of the seas, reflects the power claims of the House of Habsburg, making the fountain one of the most significant focal points of Schönbrunn Park to this day.

The Hermesvilla in the Lainz Tiergarten is an elegant, historic palace that once served as a summer residence for Empress Elisabeth. Surrounded by expansive parkland and idyllic forest paths, the villa combines cultural history with a natural experience. Today, it houses a museum offering fascinating insights into the life of the Empress and the history of the Vienna Woods. A visit to the Hermesvilla is a perfect stopover for anyone who wants to combine history, art, and nature on their tour of the Tiergarten.

The imperial rulers of the Habsburg Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary also welcomed the use of figures from Roman and Greek mythology, popular in art history, for the artistic decoration of palaces and parks – whether as paintings or, as here, as statues. From the rich world of gods, Neptune was often depicted – especially in connection with springs, ponds, fountains, and other bodies of water. After all, mythology assigned him the status of god of the sea, which, incidentally, corresponds to Poseidon in Greek mythology.

Impressive ancestral castle of the Liechtenstein family. The tour is highly recommended, and admission is included in the NÖ Card.

The Mödling castle ruins are picturesquely located in the Föhrenberge Nature Park and are one of the most impressive historical sites in the region. Originally built in the 12th century, it once served as an important fortress before falling into disrepair in the 16th century.

From the ruins you can also enjoy a breathtaking view of Mödling and the surrounding area.

Famous Viennese castle where the Habsburgs used to reside. The magnificent castle and the extensive park are definitely worth a visit, but unfortunately the bike has to stay outside.
