Hinterbrühl grotto

<< back

 

Just south of Vienna hides Europe’s largest subterranean lake. How comes?
The unique natural monument of Hinterbrühl grotto is the result of a tragic catastrophe. In 1912 a gallery of a gypsum mine collapsed and the whole mine was flooded. During World War II the former mine was pumped dry in order to build military aircrafts without fear of allied air raids. The first jet in history was built in one of the grottos. After the war the former mine was flooded once more. Some of the galleries and remains of the national socialist air craft factory have been spared und were turned into a museum. An intriguing boat trip on a subterranean lake spanning 6300 sqm rounds off our visit!
Bring warm clothes! The temperature in the grotto remains constant at 8° C (46.4 F) during the whole year.


Vienna is a secure, captivating and accessible city with excellent quality of life as repeatedly attested by international city rankings.
