Hunting is a favorite motive for Viennese culture in fall. The garden of the Augarten castle which houses the porcelain manufactory is an old hunting castle built in 1704 by Emperor Joseph I. The region was at that time an old "Danube-forest" (you can find parts of this forest still in Vienna and Lower Austria).
