Gänsehäufel (Goose Islet)

Highlight • Beach

The Gänsehäufel is a wooded sand island in the Old Danube that is used as a bathing facility. The name refers to the former "heaps" (alluvial islands), which are said to have been used primarily for breeding geese. The pool has its own closed nudist area, several beaches with a total length of around one kilometer as well as numerous sports and leisure facilities, such as wave pools, sports and toddler pools with preheated water, water play garden, water slide, parent-child area, Playgrounds, a beach volleyball court and, since May 2007, a high ropes course.

Selbstverständlich Restaurant at Old Danube

Highlight • Restaurant

27.09.2018 - Nice restaurant on the beach, for years effort and friendly staff and good food. That's why there are usually many guests and it is quite crowded. Good tip times in the evening after 20 o'clock on a balmy summer evening during the week to go have a drink, the atmosphere and lighting is great, it is quiet and you have plenty of space. Opposite a large bay with observation deck, great views towards UNO-City, in summer a good swimming. Nice environment for joggers, hikers and nature lovers.

Alte Donau

Highlight • River

The walking path around the Old Danube in Vienna is a little break from city life - a place where nature and urban flair come together wonderfully.

The path leads along the bank, past charming boathouses, idyllic beer gardens and small beaches. In summer, the sailing boats are reflected on the calm surface of the water while walkers and cyclists enjoy the promenade. In autumn, the trees along the bank turn into a sea of colors that bathes the Old Danube in golden light.

In between, cafés and restaurants right on the water invite you to take a break - perfect for watching the sunset or simply relaxing. For families, sports enthusiasts or nature lovers, the walking path around the Old Danube offers relaxation and inspiration in every season.

Grey and 7 degrees with an icy wind, so today I hiked a bit faster than usual 🥶 Ran 4 times across the meadow by the Strombucht to warm up again 😨 There's not much going on on the Lower Old Danube yet, but the mowing boats, sailing schools and beach bars are already preparing everything for the summer season.
