To describe this park as a Tiergarten (zoo) would be somewhat misleading, as this sprawling nature reserve to the west of Vienna is nothing but undisturbed nature. Bucks, roe-deer and wild pigs all wander freely through the grounds, as do town residents in search of a bit of peace and quiet. It is possible to amble trough the Emperor's former hunting grounds on endless trails. Those who wish to see Vienna from a different angle should make the effort to take a trip to the 'Wiener Blick' from which point the town seems to be laid out at one's feet. The Museum of History organizes various exhibitions in the Hermesvilla, located just a small walk from the Lainzer Gate.
