A Virtual Visit to the Alte Donau /Ein Virtueller Besuch an der Alten Donau (ENG-GER)

Hello Hive Friends!
Hallo Hive Freunde!
I had quite a few errands to take care of today, Wednesday, and my first stop was a bank branch in another district, about 10 km from home. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I discovered that they were closed for their lunch break. So, I had about 40 minutes to spare before they opened again.


It’s not particularly far from home, but instead of taking the usual route, I chose an alternative road to avoid the many traffic lights. This road runs parallel to the Alte Donau (Old Danube)—and, as it turned out, it was a much more pleasant way to spend those 40 minutes.


The pathway you see in the photos was built for pedestrians, joggers, and walkers. It also provides an open entrance to the waterfront below. It starts near the U1 subway and railway bridge in Floridsdorf and stretches for about 800 meters.
On the opposite side of the road, you’ll find residential homes built closely together, some privately owned and others belonging to the state.

Auf der anderen Straßenseite befinden sich dicht aneinandergebaute Wohnhäuser, die teilweise in Privatbesitz sind und teilweise dem Staat gehören.

The Alte Donau is primarily a recreational area, so there isn’t much traffic here. Most people who come this way are heading to the water to relax, swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.


And then there are those charming little houses along the waterfront. They are actually tiny garden or weekend houses, generally ranging from about 25 to 60 square meters. Their owners mostly use them during the summer—to tend their little gardens, relax by the water, or take out their small boats.
These little waterfront properties rarely come onto the market. And when one does, the price can be surprisingly high—sometimes reaching €500,000 to €1 million. An example quote can be read here.

Solche kleinen Grundstücke direkt am Wasser kommen nur äußerst selten auf den Markt. Und wenn doch einmal eines angeboten wird, kann der Preis überraschend hoch sein – manchmal zwischen 500.000 und 1 Million Euro. Ein Beispiel kann man hier finden.


If you’re ever in Vienna during the warmer months, this is definitely a place worth visiting. You can rent boats or paddle boats, enjoy the sunshine, take a swim, or simply sit by the water and watch the world go by. I hope you get the chance to visit the Alte Donau in person while summer is still here!

Ich hoffe, ihr bekommt die Gelegenheit, die Alte Donau auch einmal persönlich zu besuchen, solange der Sommer noch da ist!

stroll along the Alte Donau with me.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your visit!😊


Spaziergang entlang der Alten Donau mit mir gemacht.
Vielen Dank für euren Besuch!

I've never been to Vienna, but YOU promote it very well; it makes you want to visit. The 40-minute wait was very well spent; what was initially a nuisance because it was closed turned into moments of relaxation and leisure. It was a good way to make the most of my time.
Maybe someday you can visit Vienna..ATM, it is nice and worth it that you visited virtually so you know the place. Thanks for being here.
Vienna... I've never been!
But I have a silver coin. It is a 1967 Austria Blue Danube Waltz Commemorative Coin

Thank you so much for visiting my post, appreciate it! 💕
Your coin is old and very well preserved. I have read that one should not clean any patina on old coins 'cause it only adds to it's character particularly when it is an old one.
Thank you for the Token as well. 🌸
