First, you walk through a low tunnel far into the mountain, where you are finally given a detailed explanation of the working conditions in former times and what happened in the tunnel during the Second World War, including the construction of the first fighter jet. After the mine tour, you continue a bit further down to the largest underground lake in Europe, where you take a short boat trip. The lake is very clear, the air is great, and the lighting is also very beautiful to look at. We went to the Seegrotte purely by chance and were lucky enough to get a private tour, as apparently no one else wanted to visit the grotto at lunchtime. Our guide was very nice, explained everything in great detail, and in the end, we were even allowed to do two laps on the lake.

Hark, noble knights, and hear the tidings of the venerable castle of Perchtoldsdorf! As early as the eleventh century, this stone fortress was erected, after the brave Bavarian Duke Henry the Quarrelsome defeated the furious Hungarians in 991 and took the land around Vienna and the eastern edge of the Alps under his protection. On the southern slope of the mighty Vienna Woods, a chain of ramparts was raised to secure the east from enemies. One link in this defense was the Perchtoldsdorf castle, a stately tower of solid stone, surrounded by ramparts, a moat, and a protective palisade. It was built by a noble family of Babenberg vassals, whose splendor is also reflected in the name of the legendary "Berchtold", that knight to whom the place owes its fame, although he is not attested in old writings. Thus, the castle bravely watched over the land and its people!
