    06/04/2022 - The Heustadlwasser is located in the middle of the green Prater in Vienna. It is a former side arm of the Danube, which flows around a frequently flooded wetland area, the Krieau, from the Messe Wien to the Lusthaus as an island. A hay barn was built on this "island" for feeding wild animals, hence the name of the water body. In 1875, the inflow of Heustadlwasser was filled in when the Danube was regulated in Vienna. Today, the Heustadlwasser is divided into two by the Prater Hauptallee (into the upper and lower Heustadlwasser). At a small boat rental at the end of the water in the Stadionallee, near the Stadionbad, pedal boats for 2 to 6 people can be rented for a boat tour. The water here is up to 8 meters deep. Already at the beginning of the boat tour you can turn under a small footbridge into a small lake, the Rosenteich. Here are good bathing spots, especially for people with dogs, and a children's playground. The big bridge over the Heustadlwasser is the autobahn with the southeast tangent. Other bridges for cyclists and pedestrians cross under the car bridge. Beautiful hiking trails lead around the Heustadlwasser on both sides. Not far from the boat rental is the terminus of the Liliputbahn. Beautiful walking paths lead to the Jesuitenwiese and the Konstantinteich in the Prater.
