Tips

The Gänsehäufel is a wooded sand island in the Old Danube that is used as a bathing facility. The name refers to the former "heaps" (alluvial islands), which are said to have been used primarily for breeding geese. The pool has its own closed nudist area, several beaches with a total length of around one kilometer as well as numerous sports and leisure facilities, such as wave pools, sports and toddler pools with preheated water, water play garden, water slide, parent-child area, Playgrounds, a beach volleyball court and, since May 2007, a high ropes course.

It's a great facility. Here you can swim in the summer and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
