Water
Along the Donaulände, from the main square to the winter harbour
What is living like on a great river that works for a living?
In Linz the Danube is a working river, not a postcard one, and this walk sits right on that seam: from the main square under the Nibelungen bridge to the Lentos, then along the sculpture-dotted Donaupark, past the Brucknerhaus to the winter harbour, where sailing masts bob against the industrial skyline.
Getting there: 2, 1, 4 to Linz/Donau Hauptplatz, 21 m to the start. Way back from Linz/Donau Garnisonstraße (45, 46), 65 m.
The route and its data
The coloured line is the walk, routed on the real pedestrian network. Toggle a data layer, or tap anywhere on the map to see trees, noise, heat and travel times for that exact spot.
Tap the numbered stops for what makes each spot special, or tap anywhere for the full “what’s here?”.
Every 100 metres of the route, classified from the real data: green spaces, the official noise map, footfall.
About 7 m of climbing and 9 m of descent, between 255 and 260 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data.
For anyone weighing the centre or Kaplanhof: the bank is their daily run, with culture instead of kitsch. Level, pram-friendly and lit in the evening.
The Danube is a federal waterway: ships, current and no bathing cove. On event days (Klangwolke, the Urfahr fair opposite) the bank is packed and loud.
What changes along the way
Every 100 metres of the walk, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The bars run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: 42% of the way feels green · well shaded by street trees · along open water · lively and busy.
Values are 0 to 100 per 250 m cell. Parks and water have no residential cell of their own, so those stretches read the nearest neighbourhood. Source: Linz tree register, heat model from surface sealing, environmental noise map, footfall and own transit routing.
