Especially in summer, the Ksiserwasser is simply wonderful. I went swimming in a tributary a few years ago in August.

Kaiserwasser branch of the old Danube

The Aspern Memorial Forest is an important memorial site in Austria that commemorates the victims of National Socialism. This site is part of the national commemoration and culture of remembrance, which aims to ensure that the atrocities of the Nazi era are not forgotten and that the memory of the victims is kept alive.

In the middle of the Danube Park is the Irissee, which was renaturalized in 1993. Amidst all the hustle and bustle around it, it is a real piece of “Vienna wilderness”.

Quiet place in a beautiful riparian forest

In 1993, the Iris Lake in the Danube Park in the 22nd district of Donaustadt, which is lined with old poplar trees, was renaturalized. The extracted and oxygen-enriched groundwater now flows through it. Rushes, swan flowers, cattails and other plants form a biological sewage treatment plant (oxygen supply through natural processes). The treated water is finally discharged underground into the New Danube near the Brigittenau Bridge. Under certain water conditions (water level, current) the discharged water can be seen bubbling on the surface of the New Danube. The facility is managed by WGM, Vienna Water Management, on behalf of the City of Vienna. The Iris Bridge leads over the Iris Lake. In the immediate vicinity are the Korean Cultural Center, the mosaic "In the Café" by Helmut Leherb and the sculpture group "The Golden Calf" by Karl Anton Wolf.

A paradise in the middle of the city!

nice there, my father in law saved it decades ago, otherwise Red Vienna would already have concreted over it
