Only 17 km away from Vienna lies a completely historical house surrounded by lush greenery - the Hotel Restaurant Höldrichsmühle.

The hotel is located directly at the entrance to the Föhrenberge Nature Park, where, among other things, the magnificent Temple of the Hussars - also known as the "Temple of Martial Glory" - is located.
