You turn exactly one lap and not more. Having arrived at the top, one understands why Vienna is often called the most beautiful city in the world. From the old wooden cabins you can shoot great pictures of the city, especially at dusk. But also the Ferris wheel as one of the landmarks of the city is worth a photo in any case!

Running

When speaking of the "Prater" outside of Vienna, there is usually only talk of the well-known Viennese amusement park. In fact, the Prater is a pretty big, green band in the middle of the Austrian capital. Of course you do not expect high alpine mountain trails here, but to the right and left of the main avenue there are many small paths and trails that are perfect for running. Bleeding is virtually eliminated, so there's nothing wrong with gradually discovering all these little trails. :)
