Stadtwanderweg 11: Urban social-housing trail
From the Bruno-Kreisky-Park to the Amalienbad, from one Gemeindebau to the next: Reumannhof, Metzleinstaler Hof, Theodor-Körner-Hof. The trail tells Vienna's social housing through the buildings themselves.
The trail can be walked straight from the browser, with nothing to install: the map follows along, and the chapters name the neighbourhood you are crossing. More telling than the kilometres is the doorstep — this is how living looks where the trail runs.

The chapters are the housing lens on the official trail: what is measured for the neighbourhood you are crossing. We have not walked the trail ourselves.
