Donaupark

The area now occupied by Donaupark was originally the site of a landfill and two informal settlements, Bruckhaufen and Bretteldorf, which emerged in the early 20th century.

[1] Following its rehabilitation, the site was identified as a potential recreational area due to its proximity to the city center, approximately 4 km away, and its location near the main traffic corridor at the Reichsbrücke.

The park also featured the Donauparkhalle, an indoor ice rink, as well as a chairlift and a narrow-gauge railway to transport visitors.

Opened in 1964, the tower offers panoramic views of Vienna and features a revolving restaurant, an observation deck, a slide, and a bungee-jumping platform.

The lake is surrounded by a natural landscape featuring silver poplars, reeds, and aquatic vegetation, such as roundhead bulrush and flowering rush.
