A Rainy Wednesday Walk - The Stadler Furt, Lower Austria

Stadler Furt - not a lagoon but more of a marsh....

Everyone loves to go here since it is one of the nicer parts of the Donau-Auen National Park. Stadler Furt is already part of Lower Austria, and though smaller than the area around the Lobau Haus, this is a lovely place to make picnics, biking overlooking this amazing view of nature.

It has been raining here cats and dogs in our place for three consecutive days and since I didn´t want to go out because it´s so chilly outside, I checked my files of photos I took lately. The Lobau area is not far away from my flat and there are so many ponds or marshes that can be visited either by foot, by bike or by car. The Donau-Auen National Park is around 36 kilometers ´til the borders of Slovakia, and each town is blessed to have part of the water. The water area is not continuously intertwined or link with each other. Only when the snow melts or it rained for so many days that the lagoons are filled and connect to the other part of Lobau area.

My guess is that the water does not go above than 1.5 meter level of the marker. I can imagine this is a lovely skating area when the water gets frozen. It´s not that deep so maybe it´s safe to skate here.

When I made the walk, I saw this front yard with an old cart decorated with geraniums and the house is fronting the way to the water and the forest.

The signboard hints the way to the entrance to the Forest House which is 200 meters and also informing visitors of the beginning of biker´s route.

This is the way to the water and the forest and along the water banks was a pathway where hikers and walkers could thread into....it´s the area where people meet to walk their dogs.

In the open area is this wonderful view of the water where nature is untouched. This is a wonderful place to meditate, walk, bike, picnic or simply have a quiet moment to contemplate about life with friends or without, it is surely a place to enjoy nature and de-stress from the busy life.
