It is worth noting that along with numerous cultural and historical monuments, there are some natural wonders in Vienna as well. Vienna woods are known all over the world, and in this private tour you will have an opportunity to appreciate their beauty. During the tour we will also visit a famous spa town – Baden bei Wien. It is situated in Lower Austria and attracts thousands of tourists each year.

Actually the town is called Baden, but it is unofficially called Baden bei Wien in order to distinguish it from other places with similar names, such as Baden in Switzerland or Baden-Baden. There are lots of parks in the towns, and you would definitely enjoy a lengthy walk along the tree-lines paths and beautiful flowerbeds. Helenental valley is known for its picturesque landscapes, and it is definitely worth seeing. It is worth noting that the valley is crossed by an aqueduct. The valley is also known for its several historical and architectural monuments such as the ruins of the Rauheneck castle, dating back to the 12th century, and the Chateau Weilburg. You will also find there the famous ruined castle of Rauhenstein, also built in the middle of the 12th century.

You should note that Baden used to be an imperial spa famous for its remarkable roman thermea. Besides that, Baden is often referred as the place where such legendary composers as Schubert, Strauss, and Beethoven lived and worked upon their masterpieces. During the tour we will also visit the memorial to the Crown Prince Rudolph Habsburg, and explore the place where the well-known “tragedy of Mayerling”, or the “mayerling incident” took place. It would be a very exciting trip, especially if you are a history devotee.
