A green idyll and a high quality of life at the gates of Vienna - this aptly describes Klosterneuburg together with the surrounding area and thus the location of the "Hauptstrasse 87" project. The municipality of Klosterneuburg is known for its famous collegiate church, which is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Europe. The monastery complex dates back to the 12th century and is an important historical site in Austria. The town is also known for its wine production and invites visitors to taste its fine wines. The vineyards around Klosterneuburg extend into the surrounding hills and offer breathtaking views of the Danube and the surrounding countryside. Klosterneuburg also offers a variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking and biking along the Danube and through the vineyards. There are also numerous restaurants and cafes serving local specialties and wines. In addition to the collegiate church, Klosterneuburg is also home to other attractions such as the Essl Museum of Contemporary Art, which impresses with its extensive collection of works by Austrian artists.

Strombad Kritzendorf

Strombad Kritzendorf is a bath and vacation colony, located about twelve kilometers north of Vienna on the right bank of the Danube in the Lower Austrian village of Kritzendorf. It was one of the first open-air baths in Austria and had its heyday in the interwar period, when up to 12,000 visitors from all social classes frequented it on individual weekends. Although the facility is no longer operated as a public outdoor pool today, the sunbathing lawn on the banks of the Danube is freely accessible and is also used by numerous guests in the summer. The garden plots in the complex are now leased all year round under the name "Donausiedlung" by the baths administration of the Klosterneuburg municipality.

Klosterneuburg floodplain

Since the regulation of the Danube, the area of floodplains along the Danube has been in sharp decline. It was not until about 1950 that the first measures were taken to preserve and secure the Danube floodplains. In 1996, the Danube floodplains were officially declared a national park with a total of 9,300 hectares of forest, meadow and water areas. Floodplain areas existed mainly on both sides of the (unregulated) Danube, including the Danube Canal and the Danube islands (heaps), and to a lesser extent along the Vienna River, the Liesingbach and smaller Vienna Forest streams. Slightly more than one third of the present city area was formerly alluvial landscape, which is about 150 square kilometers. Only parts (Lobau) have survived to the present day after the Danube was regulated. Place names as well as street names derived directly from these or from the floodplain area remind us that in the Middle Ages, partly even in the 19th century, large areas in Vienna's districts 2, 9, 20, 21 and 22 were covered by floodplains.

Danube Cycle Path

The Danube Cycle Path is one of the most famous cycling routes in Europe and runs along the picturesque Danube River. The cycle path stretches over 2,800 kilometers from its source in Germany to its mouth in the Black Sea and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The seventh stage of the Danube Cycle Path involves cycling along Vienna's beautiful Danube riverfront, passing Kritzendorf and Klosterneuburg. During this stage, cyclists can also visit the famous Klosterneuburg Collegiate Church and taste local wines at nearby wineries. The route also passes through the Vienna Woods, providing a welcome change from the urban landscape of Vienna.

Klosterneuburg Abbey

Klosterneuburg Abbey is one of the oldest and most important monastery complexes in Austria and is also home to the famous collegiate church, which is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Europe. The monastery was founded in 1114 by Margrave Leopold III and has experienced a rich history over the centuries. It served as a center of science and art and also housed one of the most important libraries of the Middle Ages. The collegiate church is the centerpiece of the monastery complex and impresses with its rich furnishings, including the famous altarpiece by Kremser Schmidt. The church also houses the relics of St. Leopold, the patron saint of Austria. In addition to the church, Klosterneuburg Abbey also has many other attractions, such as the Museum of Sacred Art with an impressive collection.
