Vienna Woods Tour

  • 318 reviews | 2,587 travellers
    Excellent pick up.. The guide, very kind and attentive, spoke Spanish quite well. Beautiful landscapes and the monastery just as beautiful. At all times he explained all the details in the three languages of the bus. Everything was a bit fast but great. The only problem came at the mine and the lake. We changed to a local guide, and although he was very nice he only spoke English and no Spanish. He had a very short grading for certain points and you can't ask because he couldn't explain anything in Spanish.

Vienna Woods Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet in the center of Vienna. We'll then leave the Austrian capital behind to explore a more natural landscape: the Vienna Woods. These forested highlands have been designated a Biosphere Reserve and stretch from the city to the foothills of the Alps.

The first stop will be the Heiligenkreuz Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1133, making it the oldest continuously occupied monastery of its kind in the world. Visit its Medieval cloisters, where you'll find the tombs of the last members of the Babenberg dynasty.

The route will then continue to Lake Hinterbrühl, where we'll visit its mysterious grotto. This lake grotto has been a tourist attraction for years due to its peculiar layout. Did you know that the Hinterbrühl is also the largest underground lake in Europe?

Finally, the tour will end back at the meeting point around 5 hours later.
