The small children's playground built and fenced there is nice, although there are only two benches. Right next to it is the play area for the older ones.

In the winter of 1872/1873, the contractor Antonio Gabrielli suggested to the municipal council that the work be completed in October 1873, instead of 1874 as contractually agreed, in return for a bonus payment. As both the sanitary situation – Vienna was again threatened by a cholera epidemic from 1872 onwards and the Kaiser-Ferdinands-Wasserleitung supplied insufficient water – and the financial situation were extremely strained, this led to difficult discussions within the water supply commission. On February 18, 1873, it submitted a motion to the municipal council to pay Gabrielli a bonus of one million guilders if the construction work was completed by October 1, 1873. This was accepted.

A very nice descent from Eilandberg to Sieghartskirchen. A pleasant gradient, even uphill, allows for a quick ride.

The site of the tragedy of January 30, 1889, has long been a convent. During my last visit, you could still drive up and ring the nuns' bell; today, everything is cordoned off and secured. Instead, there's a chic reception building. 😉

A tragedy made the place world-famous and a destination for many culture-loving tourists: On January 30, 1889, Crown Prince Rudolf and his lover, Mary Vetsera, committed suicide in what was then the hunting lodge. Following the "Tragedy of Mayerling," Emperor Franz Joseph had the castle redesigned as Carmel St. Joseph, a monastery for the Discalced Carmelites. While there had previously only been a small memorial, a visitor center was inaugurated in October 2014. Since the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy led to the loss of the foundation for the maintenance of the convent, the nuns have since relied on the income from the memorial.

If you have time, I recommend this place. First of all, it's a beautiful church, and then it has a history with various rumors. Suicide or murder?
