The cafe is great. And at certain times of the year, there are small markets at the Carthusian monastery.

The first plans already existed in 1781 by the architect Wilhelm Bayer. The lake, upon its construction in 1895–1897, was used only as a utility water reservoir, and until recently as a drinking water reservoir for the Wiental water pipeline of the Wiental waterworks. The content of the basin, which is created by a 240-meter-long and 13-meter-high dam, was 1,430,000 cubic meters at the time.

A pleasant local recreation area for Viennese residents – sometimes very busy in good weather, occasionally a strong wind tunnel. Otherwise, a great alternative to the city streets for getting around undisturbed 👍
