Danube Island
(Donauinsel)
|
The Donauinsel (Danube Island), an
island of about 20 km in the river Danube, is known to most visitors to
Vienna, Austria as a recreational mecca with bars, restaurants and
nightclubs, a wealth of sports opportunities from rollerblading, cycling and
swimming to canoeing and a beach that looks and feels so good that it has
been nicknamed the "Copa Cagrana/Copa Kagrana" (as it lies in the 22nd
District of Vienna named Kagran). For over 20 years at the end of June a
couple million people (in 2005, it was 3 million) gather at the Donauinsel
to visit the biggest open air festival in Europe, the Donauinselfest. The
festival, which charges no admission fee, is very popular among the Viennese
population and beyond.
