Otto Wagner Imperial Pavilion (Hietzing)

Highlight • Monument

The pavilion of the k. u.k. Highest court in Hietzing

The construction of the Stadtbahn was the largest infrastructure project in Vienna around 1900. Otto Wagner (1841-1918), the pioneer of modern architecture, was entrusted with the artistic design of the new means of mass transport, which still characterizes the cityscape today. The erection of a separate pavilion for Emperor Franz Joseph and the "All Highest Court" at the Hietzing station goes back to his initiative. The building, completed in 1899, was given an unmistakable, representative exterior and a sumptuous Art Nouveau interior, which was tailored entirely to the needs of the Emperor was.

Wienfluss Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Vienna River Cycle Path is a popular and safe cycle path that runs along the Vienna River from Auhof to the Kennedy Bridge. It is 13 kilometers long and offers many sights and recreational opportunities. For example, you can visit the Lainzer Tiergarten, the Moser Villa, Schönbrunn Palace or the Naschmarkt. The cycle path can be used all year round, but you should pay attention to the seasonal opening times and the flood warning system.

Wien River Cycle Path (Wientalradweg)

Highlight • Cycleway

This is a very nice bike path along the Wien River. Many places invite you to rest, sit in the sun or just cool your feet in the water. The route is not recommended for "fast drivers" because there are many "day trippers" on foot and with small children. In any case, it is a chilled out bike tour. We love to drive there.

Kennedy Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

From here, the cycle path runs in the bed of the Wien river. And depending on the wind direction, it's either a lot of fun or can drag on a lot...

Schönbrunn Palace

Highlight • Castle

Famous Viennese castle where the Habsburgs used to reside. The magnificent castle and the extensive park are definitely worth a visit, but unfortunately the bike has to stay outside.

Enjoyed a few beers after work in a stream (to cool or wash your feet :-)) with Jürgen in this great weather. On the way home we got stuck at a sausage stand :-)
