The historic water tower in Viennese Favoriten district is now surrounded by a new water cognitive park. It is located on an area of ​​15 000 square meters and offers not only to relax and have fun on local attractions, but also to learn a lot of interesting information about the water.

An exploratory waterway shows visitors to the park how the big city of Vienna is provided with drinking water: two high-water source waterways deliver the life-giving water from the mountains for a distance of about 330 kilometers without pumps directly to Vienna. The management of the park took care of the ennobling of the territory: trees were planted, waterfalls, ponds, streams and bridges were built. In addition to them there are playgrounds on water and, of course, drinking fountains.

The historical water tower, around which a new water cognitive park is located, is a characteristic building of industrial historicism. It was built in 1898/99 and before the construction of the high-water source water supply, the high-lying parts of the city districts provided drinking water. The building with its brightly colored roofing tiles was repaired in the 1990s and used for exhibitions and other cultural events.
