New quarter

Around the lake of the Seestadt

What is it like to live in a district that did not exist ten years ago?

A district that did not exist fifteen years ago: housing by an artificial lake, wide promenades, cranes on the horizon. The walk follows the shore from the east side around the north end and finishes on the central square. It shows what new Vienna feels like: big sky, young trees, everything built for what comes next.

Elevation↑ 1 m · ↓ 0 m · 157–158 m

About 1 m of climbing and 0 m of descent, between 157 and 158 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data.

Who this walk is for

For pioneers: plenty of new, often subsidised housing and a young neighbourhood, all still taking shape. If you are after period-building patina, you will not be happy here.

Good to know

Much is still taking shape: the trees are young, some ground floors still empty, and the U2 ends here. In return there is a lot of new, often subsidised housing by the lake.

What changes along the way
