The city of Vienna offers 14 well-marked hiking trails through the most beautiful landscapes of Vienna and the surrounding area. These are managed by the Vienna Forestry Office.

The Vienna Prater is a spacious, approximately 6 km², largely public area, which still today largely consists of floodplain landscapes originally shaped by the Danube.

Today we celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary with this beautiful tour of the Vienna City Trail number 9. The most fascinating thing about it is that it is inside the city and you can see many animals. In the end we took a detour to see the amusement park and Christmas market.

Out and about with friends - therefore few photos but a lot of gossip and laughter. It was nice. First time in this lockdown that we've met friends. That's when you realize how much you miss this social contact. My wish for the Christ Child: meeting family and friends, maybe having a break, that would be nice.
