With a bit of luck you can meet very special residents at the central cemetery. Because when there is a rustling in the bushes, nobody has to be afraid of the undead: the central cemetery is the habitat of deer, hamsters, squirrels, badgers, martens, kestrels and many other animal species that appreciate the huge area just as much as the Viennese. Especially in the old Jewish cemetery, with its secluded peace, such encounters are quite possible.

You can always argue with an encounter with a deer

This part of the Jewish cemetery has a sense of tranquility—few visitors and a refuge for wildlife in the tall grass. Only a few paths are regularly mowed here. It's worth a quiet visit!
