Our first station takes us to Mayerling, where we visit a
noble residence with a varied history. In 1550, it was owned
by Heiligenkreuz convent. In 1886 Rudolf, crownprince and
Habsburg offspring, bought the residence and used it as personal
hunting seat.
It was there, that Rudolf commited suicide after killing
his lover Mary Vetsera. January 1st, 1889 was the date of
this tragic event. It was a fatal blow to the Austrian monarchy.
We will visit this historic setting and will be bewitched
by many fascinating details illustrating a long gone era.
