 Nudist area for many years |
In der Bien Vienna 1220 Austria |
The visitors to the Lobau, which is situated in the south-eastern part of Vienna, are in comple contrast to the visitors to the Copa Cagrana. For 100 years people are coming here because of the freedom to go bathing completely naked. Obviously they have been so liberal on occasions that they have got themselves into trouble, but this is a thing of the past. Today you have to walk or to take the bike to come here, because this natural region may not be accessed by cars. By public transport, you take the bus #91A to Ölhafen Neue Donau.

 A traditionally built wooden house |
Schönbrunn Vienna, Vienna 1130 Austria +43 (0)1 876 6666 http://www.tirolergarten.at/ |
In 1803, Erzherzog Johann built the Tiroler Haus, which was originally used as a farmhouse. In 1920, the last royal cow left the building. From 1921 to 1973 it was served as a restaurant known as Tiroler Garten. This Gasthaus Tiroler Garten was restored and rebuilt as recently as 1997. You can find it just by the upper exit of the Schönbrunner zoo, near the Gloriette. The wooden house was built in the old, traditional way. The corners of the wooden walls are fixed together with dovetails. Inside is also all wooden. The waiters serve in leather trousers. It's really comfortable and full of Old World charm. On the menu is soup with Tiroler Knödel and a children's schnitzel; beer is on tap. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Visit an Empress' home |
Lainzer Tiergarten (Lainzer Tor) Vienna 1130 Austria |
To the west of the city lies the delightful Lainzer Tiergarten, a large park-cum-animal reserve where the famous Lippizaner horses spend their summer holidays. In this rural idyll, Franz Josef had the Hermesvilla summer house built for his unhappy wife, Empress Elisabeth, the Princess Diana of her time. Constructed between 1882-86, this rather gloomy house did little to cheer up the depressed Empress and she rarely stayed there. Today, exhibitions are occasionally held on the grounds here, and there is a pleasant café to rest after a walk in the woods. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Skiing in the Wienerwald |
Mauerbachstraße 172-174 Vienna 1140 Austria +43 1 979 10 57 |
Skiing in the city of Vienna is more beautiful than you would think: Picturesque Mauerbach is located in the outskirts of Vienna on the slopes of the Wienerwald and is waiting for skiers just like you! With a 400m skilift why go anywhere else? You will need to go when there are snow conditions because they do not produce artificial snow, however, that isn't generally a problem for Vienna in the winter. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A small tavern area near the Danube |
Heiligenstädter Straße Vienna 1190 Austria +43 1 21 1140 / +43 1 2 4555 (Tourism Board) |
The clue is in the name: Nußdorf (nut village) got its name from the many walnut trees that grow here. If you don't want to go straight to a tavern, you can take a walk up the very romantic Beethovengang or down to the Danube. The smaller houses here are reminiscent of this place in former times; this is a suburb of Vienna, which became a part of the city just 100 years ago. The Viennese like to visit the taverns here because of their pleasant atmosphere. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fairytale castle |
Schlossplatz 1 Laxenburg Vienna, Vienna 2361 Austria +43 1 2111 / +43 1 2 4555 (Tourist Board) |
Situated in the middle of wonderful parkland some 17km south of Vienna, Schloss Laxenburg is a prime example of 18th century garden artistry. Full of wonderful canals, bridges and monuments, the garden is one of Austria's finest pieces of landscaping. The architectural highlight is the stunning 14th century castle which stands in the centre of the grounds. The castle was a favourite residence of the Habsburgs, which explains why you will find an 'imperial railway station' here. Schloss Laxenburg is now a popular destination with day-trippers.

 A skiing pleasure also for night flyers |
Mauerbachstrasse 172-174 Vienna, Vienna 1140 Austria +43 1 979 1057 http://www.wien.gv.at/sportamt... |
If a trip to the Austrian Alps is too far for you to travel, you could do some skiing on the 400m long Hohe Wand Wiese. Here you'll find classical alpine skiers as well as today's snow boarders. The drag lift brings everybody up to the top. Thanks to the floodlighting installation, it can be used until late in the evening, and artificial snow is produced if necessary. If you need a drink, there is a small restaurant in an old bus, the Busstüberl. Review © 2007, Wcities |
