Bad weather? Off to the Heindl chocolate factory in Vienna!

Excursion tip with the Lower Austria Card

When the weather doesn’t cooperate, we love to grab our Lower Austria Card and head to one of our favorite destinations: the Heindl chocolate factory in Vienna. It’s super easy to organize and a highlight every year – not just for the kids!

From where we live, it takes about an hour by train to get to Vienna. We get off at Vienna Meidling, then take the Badner Bahn for about 10 more minutes to the Inzersdorf Lokalbahn stop. From there, it’s a short five-minute walk – and we’re already standing in front of the Heindl chocolate factory.

You can drop by spontaneously, taste some chocolate, explore the small but charming museum, and of course browse the shop. If you want, you can also book a workshop in advance – for example, for children. It’s fun, educational, and, of course, delightfully sweet.

For us, it’s a true all-round excursion: relaxed, delicious – and best of all, independent of the weather. We’re always happy to go back!
