The Konstantinteich (Constantine Pond) in Vienna's Prater is an idyllic pond located below Konstantinhügel (Constantine Hill), an artificial hill created for the 1873 World's Fair. Nestled within the Prater's expansive green spaces, the pond forms part of a popular network of paths for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Visitors can reach the hill and surrounding paths via the historic Konstantinsteg (Constantine Bridge), Vienna's oldest surviving bridge, dating back to 1873. Together with the other bodies of water in the Prater, the Konstantinteich contributes significantly to the park's natural atmosphere and offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

The Kaltenleutgeben quarry lake lies idyllically nestled between steep rock faces and dense forest, shimmering in rich shades of green and blue on sunny days. Along the shore, you'll find lovely spots for a break with views of the water and the former quarry face. Please observe the local regulations – swimming and cycling are restricted or partially prohibited in the lake area.

Nature Park

It is a beautiful and well-kept little pond. There are a few benches here where you can take a short break.

Simply follow the main avenue from the Prater and you will come to the lake that used to be a branch of the Danube, the “Heustadlwasser”.

High Jet Fountain of 1873, Vienna The High Jet Fountain is a fountain in Vienna. It is located on Schwarzenbergplatz and was inaugurated on October 24, 1873, in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I, to mark the completion of the First Vienna High Spring Water Pipeline after a construction period of four months. Anton Gabrielli, the contractor for the water pipeline, donated 200,000 crowns for the construction of the fountain, which was commissioned by the City of Vienna and built by the contractor Gustav Bruck. In 1886/87, extensive considerations were made regarding the regulation of Schwarzenbergplatz and, consequently, the redesign of the High Jet Fountain. The designs of the important sculptors Viktor Tilgner (1844–1896)[4] and Rudolf Weyr (1847–1914) were presented to the public at the Vienna Künstlerhaus from the end of January 1887, but no decision was made in their favor. Later, the fountain, designed in the style of a fountain lumineuse by the architect Oskar Marmorek (1863–1909), was transformed into an illuminated fountain at a cost of 285,000 crowns and opened on June 23, 1906. At night, it glows in red, pink, yellow, violet, blue, and green. Text / Source: Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochstrahlbrunnen

The hill was created during the excavation work for the rotunda on the occasion of the 1873 World Exhibition in Vienna.

Nice to sit and relax. The swans and ducks are a highlight, especially for children.
