The history of the Strombads Kritzendorf goes back to the year 1887. At that time there was a swimming basket in the Danube to enable even inexperienced swimmers to swim safely. Over the years, the bath then developed into a renowned bathing spot for the Viennese. At the end of the 1970s, bathing operations were discontinued. Since then, the Strombad has been freely accessible. You can swim in the Danube, but there is no lifeguard.
