Strandbad Alte Donau
The Strandbad Alte Donau is Vienna's oldest public lakeshore bathing institution, on a calm backwater separated from the main Danube by land reclamation in the 19th century. The Alte Donau (Old Danube) no longer carries river current, which makes it warm, calm, and clean enough for swimming in summer.
