the artificial island which divides the river Danube into two basins and thus protects Vienna from the floods caused by Europe's second largest river Danube.
In the distance you can see Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg,
the most famous hills of the Vienna Woods within city boundaries.
The hills make a nice background for the fishing boat and the two friends enjoying a Sunday morning chat on the water!
Yippee! My dog enjoys to explore the coves where dogs are allowed to play freely!
Ah! The exciting smells of water, stones, grass and animals!
I'm looking for the Japanese Cherry Grove and nearly miss it.
After walking back for two miles, there is a sign:
The Cherry Grove!
Japan gave Vienna 1000 cherry trees as a present for Austria's 1000 years celebration (1996).
The trees were planted in 2002 and are still rather small!
It's still too cold for the blossoms, they are still closed!
We walk back to the riverside. A canoe silently paddles upstream.
Soon we notice that we are back in the city again.
Millennium Tower is our point of departure.
It makes a nice contrast to the natural environment we have enjoyed for the past two hours.

Your header is incredible, Maria! Now if my hubby would have a fishing boat like that -so neat with that little "house"on top, maybe he would go fishing more! And I would even go with him!!
Hallo Maria, schön, mal wieder Wiener Fotos zu sehen.
Und "Neuigkeiten" erfährt man da auch noch...
Daß Japan die Bäumchen gespendet hatte, habe ich nicht gewußt.
Schön sind Deine Donauimpressionen!

I wanna jog in Vienna and enjoy seeing various scenery!
Vienna is a very beautiful city also has very wonderful histries.
I wish there was a door that connected to Vienna from Tokyo.
