The first plans already existed in 1781 by the architect Wilhelm Bayer. The lake, upon its construction in 1895–1897, was used only as a utility water reservoir, and until recently as a drinking water reservoir for the Wiental water pipeline of the Wiental waterworks. The content of the basin, which is created by a 240-meter-long and 13-meter-high dam, was 1,430,000 cubic meters at the time.

A pleasant local recreation area for Viennese residents – sometimes very busy in good weather, occasionally a strong wind tunnel. Otherwise, a great alternative to the city streets for getting around undisturbed 👍

From the Perchtoldsdorf Heath, Vienna lies at your feet – with an unobstructed view across the entire city and far into the surrounding countryside. On clear days, you can see the Danube, the Inner City, and the hills on the horizon. An ideal spot for a short break, a photo, and one last look back before heading back into the Vienna Woods.
