What To Expect
Baden near Vienna is not Middle-earth, but there are still two towers to admire. Once two castles on the left and right of the Schwechat river secured the entrance to the Helenental valley. Above all, two towers visible from afar still bear witness to this and are the destination of our excursion. We walk on picturesque forest paths and rocky paths, always the ruins Rauheneck and Rauhenstein in mind. Both towers offer us a beautiful view over the spa town of Baden and the valley surrounding the Schwechat. A special nature experience will finally convey us to the famous Kings cave.
