And today we’ll visit the spa town for the second time. Baden is located absolutely near to Vienna, only in 26 km far away. There even is a special tram-train (Badener Bahn), starting from Vienna State Opera to Baden, but the track has so many stops and takes sometimes more than hour, so I prefer to get there by the railway line. Using this small ruse, I shorten the travel time up to 20 minutes with only some stops. In my opinion it is more convenient decision even than to get Baden by auto, especially when a season of young wines tasting begins.
Today the roses are still in blossom and we again enter to Doblhoffpark. The Doblhoffpark is known for its rosarium, largest in Austria and garden often named, the Garden of Roses. The Dobllhof Park, along with Kurpark, is one of the favorite places for rest of inhabitants and guests and they lead a lot of hours among the roses. In previous times the park was a part of Weikersdorf Castle, and now it is named Doblhoffpark after the name of its last owners. The Doblhoffpark became the property of local municipality in the 1960s of 20th century and the magnificent rosary was designed by architect Victor Modlhammer. I allow giving some impressing statistics: more than 30,000 rose shrubs are growing in 175 beds. The roses are in bloom twice a year – for the first time in June and in October – the second bloom.
