Aloha & Welcome at the Stand Up Paddle Scene in Vienna!
Yes, you read correctly... the latest sports trend, Stand Up Paddle (short: SUP) from Hawai has gained massive popularity within the past few years and has even made it into metropolitan cities with no access to the ocean, like Vienna. The best thing about SUP is, it can be exercised anywhere on the water, from rivers, lakes to oceans including bays. Check out the SUP-Center Vienna locations in Vienna:

1. Public bathing area "Gänsehäufl"

The Gänsehäufl at the Old Danube River is Vienna's largest public bathing spot, and even one of the largest fresh water public bathing spots in Europe. It offers bathing spots, beach volley ball courts, a high rope course and a Stand Up Paddle Center. It even hosts up to 300 summer residents who spend their summer days in tiny cabanas located within the Gänsehäufl. The SUP Center is located on the east beach directly on the Old Danube. You can rent your board their and get on the water - you can even circle the island within about an hour, if you paddle fast enough. It's a great location to practice your skills on the paddle board. If you are able to keep your eyes off the board you can also enjoy the skyline of the 22nd district of Vienna and the beautiful setting of the Old Danube. 2018 Season starts in May.
