Lainz Game Reserve
On an area of 2,450 hectares, visitors can experience a unique natural and cultural landscape with an enormous diversity of animals and plants. While hiking through the reserve, you may see wild boars, stags or deer crossing the path, or with some luck and patience, you may also observe woodpeckers, salamanders and bats.
Six forest playgrounds offer a chance to let loose. The forest and nature trail can educate you about the Vienna Woods, the Lainz Game Reserve, its history and its plants and animals. There are also carriage rides as well as tours and excursions dedicated to various topics (wild herb hikes, bats, bird songs, etc.).
Tip: Visit the Hermes Villa in the Lainz Game Reserve. A gift from Emperor Franz Joseph to his wife, Empress Elisabeth, the Hermes Villa serves today as the stage for special exhibits. It also offers programs for children, such as "Doing Gymnastics like the Empress". 1st Sunday in the month: Admission free.
