Green
Through the Cottage quarter
How green and quiet does Vienna get before the city ends?
The Cottage quarter was founded 150 years ago as a garden city, and that is still how it walks today: villas behind hedges, avenues without through traffic, two parks as bookends. A route through Vienna’s greenest housing experiment, which has long since become its most expensive.
Getting there: S45, 41, 40 to Wien Gersthof, 401 m to the start. Way back from Wien Cottagegasse (40A, 37A), 212 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 40 m of descent, between 200 and 234 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data.
For anyone who wants to see Vienna’s greenest way of living: quiet, shady, far from the bustle, and priced accordingly. The walk works for dreaming even without any intention to buy.
The villa area is green, quiet and very expensive, and everyday shopping is further than in dense neighbourhoods. Without a garden of your own, you mainly enjoy the area on a walk.
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: 68% of the way feels green · well shaded by street trees · 95% quiet.
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: Vienna tree register, official heat map, environmental noise map, footfall and own transit routing.
