The first picture is the Flakturm in the Augarten park of Vienna.
There was no sign explaining this antiaircraft relic of World War II.
'Auwald' is the German word for riparian or riverine forest.
The Donau or Danube must have originally been surrounded by these low lying woods.
There is not much Auwald left in Vienna.
There are forests outside of the cities along the Danube; timber and tourism seem to be major industries.
It is possible to rent bikes in Vienna and bike along the Danube.
We went 320 km to the northwest and ended at Passau, on the border with Germany.
The four pictures below were all taken at the start of the bike tour in Vienna.
Below is a trash burning power plant, with exterior design by Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
