Seegrotte is located at 17 km. from central Vienna; it is a grotto which has the largest subterranean lake in Europe. The lake grotto is a former gypsum mine on 3 levels; grey and red gypsum were mined here for use as agricultural fertilizer from 1848 to 1912. In 1912, over 20 mil. liters flooded the lowest level and the mine was closed. It was reopened in 1932 as a display mine for tourists. During WWII a subterranean airplane factory was established; the installations were demolished in 1945. At the end of the visit you will make a short boat trip; the boat is powered by underwater electric engines. It glides smoothly and soundlessy over the water and offers you a spectacular perspective over the illuminated canals and enchanting reflections in the water.

The Hermes Villa is a small mansion, built between 1882-1886 (after the plans of Carl von Hasenauer) for Empress Elisabeth, the wife of Emperor Franz Josef. The name is derived from a marble statue of Hermes on the garden level. The Historical Museum of the City of Vienna uses the Hermes Villa for special exhibitions. Since 1981, the villa's stables have been used as summer quarters for Lipizzan stallions from the Spanish Riding School.
