From there it is a ten minutes walk (sidewalk) surrounded by the woods of Vienna. The hills offer lots of possibilities for picnics. Situated in the woods of Vienna on a hill it is very famous and liked very much because of the stunning view all over Vienna. The architecture of the building itself is quite impressive, because the fundaments are made of huge gravel that keeps the groundwater from the building, made to last for centuries. This was the way of architecture applied at the beginning of the 20th century in alpine or wood areas. At the upper part of the building lots of wood was used which makes it quite appealing, too. The Krapfenwaldl bath or "Krawa" like most people living in the 19th district call it, is the most high-lying summer bath of Vienna in the Krapfenwaldgasse at the "Cobenzl". The Cobenzl is one of the hills at the outskirts of Vienna, in the 19th district called Doebling. The bath was founded in 1923 and named after Mr. Franz Josef Krapf who established a house in the woods called "Krapfenwaldl". After some time people were able to reach it by the Viennese Hoehenstrasse. Later on the little house in the woods became an inn. Today it is the restaurant of the bath. At a separate area the first skinny-dip places of Vienna was established. In 1978 two new basis were built. After renovation in 1989 it became the summer bath of today. 40,069 sqm offer enough space for 4,500 visitors. There is a sports basin, a family basin as well as a basin for children with a slide. Above all there is an adventure basin with massage jets, a restaurant, sunbathing areas, a beach-volley ball ground, a soccer ground and a natural children's playground. People are friendly, there are enough sun loungers, you can bring your own food, but the inn offers Viennese food, snacks at moderate prices. For handicapped people there is an adapted shower and WC, but to change from one area to another you need somebody to help you (wheelchair). Ideal for families, young people, older generations. Hats off, well done!!!!

The Amalienbad in Vienna's Favoriten neighborhood is an architectural landmark. It is simply one…read moreof the most beautiful indoor swimming pools ever constructed. It was built in the early 1920's by the Socialist government in Vienna as they developed a network of indoor and outdoor pools all over the city. Swimming has always been one of Vienna's main sports pursuits. You can notice this at the scores of beaches in the summertime that are filled with hundreds of thousands of people on a hot day. But in colder weather, we turn to the fine municipal indoor pools. Of course today, the Amalienbad has a full spa attached as well as other health and fitness activities. And underneath the main pool is a regulation training pool for competitive swimmers to train in. So after 100 years the Amalienbad is as busy today as it was on the day it first opened its doors.

We happened across Diana Bad on Lilienbrungasse, and it was great! They have a wave pool, a slide and other fun water features. It is open until 10pm on weeknights and 8pm on Sundays. It really added some fun to the trip! Not a place to swim laps however, more geared to children.

Its small but several features to enjoy some quality family time. They have lifeguards on duty. Co-ed lockers but they have private changing areas and separate showers. You get a sensor bracelet to use the lockers and enter/exit. We did not use the sauna or restaurant this time, so I can not review those areas. Have fun!
