Konstantin Pond

Highlight • Lake

Adjacent to the Constantine Hill is the Constantine Pond, which was previously used for boat trips. Below the Constantine Hill was the Hirschenstadl, where deer and roe deer were kept until 1867. From a structural point of view, the oldest bridge in Vienna still in existence, the Konstantinsteg, opened in 1873 and now a listed building, leads to the hill.

Jesuitenwiese

Highlight • Natural

The Jesuitenwiese is only touched by the city hiking trail, but it is a wonderful relaxation area in the Prater, which is worth a visit. It is also a giant playground, sometimes a festival area and in winter also a toboggan hill - if there is snow.

Lusthaus Water

Highlight • Lake

The body of water behind the Lusthaus in Vienna's Prater is called Lusthauswasser. The floodplain area and former arm of the Danube is home to many rare aquatic animals.

Krebsenwasser

Highlight • River

At the Krebsenwasser in the Prater there is an interesting remnant from distant days: the nailed tree. Its existence has been proven at least since the 1930s. But almost nothing can be learned about its exact history as well as its exact purpose.

Idyllic little church in the green Prater, not far from the Lusthaus. It is a memorial for AIDS victims.

06/04/2022 - The Heustadlwasser is located in the middle of the green Prater in Vienna. It is a former side arm of the Danube, which flows around a frequently flooded wetland area, the Krieau, from the Messe Wien to the Lusthaus as an island. A hay barn was built on this "island" for feeding wild animals, hence the name of the water body. In 1875, the inflow of Heustadlwasser was filled in when the Danube was regulated in Vienna. Today, the Heustadlwasser is divided into two by the Prater Hauptallee (into the upper and lower Heustadlwasser). At a small boat rental at the end of the water in the Stadionallee, near the Stadionbad, pedal boats for 2 to 6 people can be rented for a boat tour. The water here is up to 8 meters deep. Already at the beginning of the boat tour you can turn under a small footbridge into a small lake, the Rosenteich. Here are good bathing spots, especially for people with dogs, and a children's playground. The big bridge over the Heustadlwasser is the autobahn with the southeast tangent. Other bridges for cyclists and pedestrians cross under the car bridge. Beautiful hiking trails lead around the Heustadlwasser on both sides. Not far from the boat rental is the terminus of the Liliputbahn. Beautiful walking paths lead to the Jesuitenwiese and the Konstantinteich in the Prater.

Prater Tower

Highlight • Monument

At 117 meters, the Prater Tower is the tallest chairoplane in Vienna's Prater—and for a long time, it was even the tallest of its kind in the world.

During the ride, you'll be whirl through the air at speeds of up to 60 km/h within a radius of 36 meters—with spectacular views over all of Vienna, especially at sunset. The combination of height, speed, and views makes the Prater Tower a true adrenaline thrill for the brave.
