Not only did the constantly changing Danube not bother people back then, it was a great transportation axis, as well as a natural barrier for invading armies. No army in the world was able to cross those unpredictable marshlands and sidearms of this big river, Thus securing Vienna from the north and east. The weakest point of the city was arguably in the south (west and southwest had hills and mountains, which is also nice). That is why the Hofburg was built as a defensive castle in the south of the city.
I wondered about this when I was in Vienna!! I tried to run from the metro line to the downstream tip of the island and back, when the temperature was in the 30s, with no water. Bad call. I stumbled across a cafe where the staff spoke no English, but thankfully eine grösse wasser bitte was enough for them. Parts of the new Danube are seared into my memory, including all the nudist!

the Old Danube is large enough to have a sailing club there the first one of the Union Yacht Club association, which has related clubs on many lakes, including UYCAS, austria"s largest sailing club
Still not as ludicrous as Budapest in the 1800's. Upon returning from Venice, someone had the idea of diverting some of the Danube onto the "Big Boulevard" and having a DIY Canal Grande. Obviously it never materialised, but we still make jokes about it, when there is a big rainfall, and the drainage can't do it's job quick enough.
And to make it even more complicated most of the nudists aren't even on the island itself but on the Transdanubian shoreline of the New Danube. That's also where the scene quoted in the video was shot.
The Danube is much more beautiful in cities where there is one river and not four, such as Budapest, Belgrade or Bratislava. But the idea of fkk island is fantastic.
I visited vienna in 2015. I had NO idea 2 out of 4 danubes werent connected to the Danube. I thought it was 4 channels. Yes, I assumed it was processed like that for flood protection, but I thought it was just easier to cement in place 4 smaller rivers than 1 huge one. I thought all 4 were flowing. Had no idea it was 2 channels and 2 lakes.
wait, so Old and New Danube are still, do not flow? are they kept clean? hope they are cause otherwise it's gonna be bad. And it must cost a lot. Why not use Old Danube also for relief and keep all of them as flowing branches?
The old Danube is clean very clean, last year the test considert it as drinking water and we even hat sweetwater jellyfishes its a spot for all ppl from vienna for swimming and relaxing u can ent boats and such. And the new danube is still when there are no floods and u can go swim there too its not as clean at the old danube tho
Why four Danubes, though? With the Red, Green and Blue Danubes, you ought to be able to make all other hues of Danubes. Is the fourth Danube for intensity?
All of these Danubes in Vienna are not to be confused with the Vienna, which is also a river in Vienna.
