Alland is a town in the district of Baden in Lower Austria in Austria. It is about 20 km southwest of Vienna and is one of the many towns in Lower Austria located in the Wienerwald(Vienna Woods).
[edit] History
Alland was a ground for the former Babenberger and Habsburg dynasties in the middle ages. Alland was the place where the last male heir to the Babenberger throne was born. The year 1889 saw the Mayerling incident occur in a nearby hunting lodge. Crown Prince Rudolf, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian crown, died in the area in a case that is still unresolved to this day. Since then, Alland has been converted to a spa town that is a favorite of the nearby Vienna residents.
