Stadtwanderweg 10: Franz-Karl-Effenberg trail
Through the fields and shelterbelts in the east of Donaustadt. Barely any climb, barely any forest — here Vienna is flat and wide, almost Marchfeld already.
The trail runs about 7 km and takes roughly 1.75 hours on foot. It starts at Breitenlee Friedhof (Bus 24A, 85A) in the 22 (Donaustadt) district — reachable by public transport, like every Stadtwanderweg. What interests us is less the climb than the doorstep: this is how living looks where the trail runs.
