History
This is one of the few remaining Grottenbahn-rides, which is one of the earliest dark ride types. In contrast to the other well-known early dark ride type called River Caves, the Grottenbahn features cars instead of boats. The Alt Wiener Grottenbahn is believed to be the first Grottenbahn. Replicas have been made throughout Austria in later years, but most of these have been closed by now. The Alt Wiener Grottenbahn opened in 1898.
