Hinterbrühl

The market town of Hinterbrühl in the district of Mödling combines the villages of Hinterbrühl, Sparbach, Wassergspreng and Weissenbach bei Mödling. It is nestled in the lovely Vienna Woods landscape. Hinterbrühl is not only world-famous as a spa town and SOS Children's Village location, but also for attractions such as the lake grotto, the Sparbach Nature Park and the Höldrichsmühle mill.

It is not for nothing that artists such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Richard Wagner and Ferdinand Raimund were captivated by the beauty of the town. To this day, wonderful excursions with children or nature-related breaks and short vacations can be spent here.
