It is not without reason that Baden near Vienna has long been a popular summer residence for emperors, kings and artists. Their traces can still be seen in many places today. Green oases alternate with cultural goods and historical places, and at the end of your stroll through the city, stop for a stop at one of the traditional wine taverns. The 'Great Spas of Europe' are a group of eleven spa towns from seven states.
From the beginning of the 18th century, europe's bourgeois tradition, which dates back to antiquity, was in full bloom, which shaped entire towns and cities with thermal and mineral springs. This includes not only bathing and spa facilities per se, but also large parts of the infrastructure such as hotels, promenades, theaters, parks and extensive residential areas.

You can reach the Kurpark in just a few minutes from your hotel. Lose yourself on the winding paths and discover monuments such as the Beethoven Temple, the Mozart Temple, the Lanner and Strauss Monument, the Christ Chapel or the crypt cave.
Two historic giants guard the valley out of town in the Helenental valley: the Rauheneck castle ruins and the Rauhenstein castle ruins. The first of the two, Rauheneck, can be walked on after climbing the bumpy hiking trail. The Rauhenstein castle ruins are just as picturesque and easy to hike around, but the walls themselves are closed. Attention art lovers: In the old baths for women in the city of Baden you can see modern art by the contemporary Baden artist Arnulf Rainer, whose partly extravagant works invite you to take a closer look.
