Bus Hire in Moedling

Moedling is a market town 16 kilometres south of Vienna in Lower Austria, part of the Cultural Landscape Wachau and the Semmering Railway UNESCO designations that cover the southern Vienna region. The old town has a well-preserved medieval and Baroque character, with the Karner ossuary, the Stadtpfarrkirche, and the Babenberg ruins on the ridge above the town giving it a history that stretches back to the 10th century.

Groups visit Moedling as part of a Vienna suburban touring circuit, combining it with Baden bei Wien, Heiligenkreuz Abbey, and the Hinterbrühl Seegrotte, the largest underground lake in Europe accessible by rowing boat through former gypsum mine tunnels. Beethoven and Schubert both spent summers in Moedling, and several houses associated with them are marked in the town.

The Old Town and Babenberg Ruins

Moedling's old town clusters around the Schrannenplatz, with the Gothic Stadtpfarrkirche and the circular Karner bone house beside it. The Babenberg ruins on the Leopoldsberg above the town are a short walk up and give a view over the Vienna basin and the Wienerwald that justifies the climb. The town centre is fully walkable from a coach drop at the edge of the pedestrian zone.

Getting to Moedling

Moedling is 16 kilometres south of Vienna city centre, about 20 minutes by coach via the A2 motorway or the Wienerwald road. Vienna International Airport (VIE) is around 35 kilometres east, about 35 minutes by coach. The town is on the S-Bahn line from Vienna Hauptbahnhof, a journey of around 20 minutes. Most groups arrive from Vienna by coach as part of a day-trip itinerary.

Hinterbruhl Seegrotte

The Seegrotte at Hinterbruhl, around four kilometres from Moedling's centre, is a former gypsum mine that flooded in 1912 to create the largest underground lake in Europe. Boat trips across the underground lake are the main attraction; the tour also covers the mine galleries where a German flying boat prototype was assembled during the Second World War using forced labour. The Seegrotte is open year-round and handles group bookings. Coach parking is available at the site entrance.

What Bus Hire Costs in Moedling
