The Lusthauswasser is an idyllic still body of water in the Wiener Prater – a remnant of a former Danube side arm and part of the natural floodplain forest network away from the regulated Danube Canal. The tranquil scenery between trees and water makes it a beautiful spot for relaxed walks or bike tours through the green oasis in the middle of the city. Nature lovers and birdwatchers in particular will find a quiet retreat here with rich flora and fauna.
