Weekend Activities – Donauinsel

Blog 5 von Weronika

Donauinsel is a very popular spot during the summer, a lot of people come here to cool off in the river. The water here is surprisingly clean, especially in certain sections. There are small docks where you can set up your towel and get straight into the water without having to walk on pebbles.

It’s a very pleasant place to spend a chill day out, especially if you bring some food and have a little picnic. Although, I would watch out as the swans and ducks will swim really close to you, but I haven’t had them steal any food (yet).

There are also people that ride by with cold drinks and ice cream to make the hot day a bit more manageable. The water is refreshing, but not too cold, so it’s the perfect temperature for swimming during the summer heat. And the sunsets are absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect place to hang out with family or friends, or even alone with a book.
