Location

A small street in the 10th district of Vienna.

Participants

Plan

We saw the spot; we wanted to do it.

Expedition

Nothing out of the ordinary. We met up close to the metro station Pilgramgasse and made our way through rush hour on bikes. After leaving the densest part of the 10th district, we have a bit of time to recover from the cars, just to join them 5 minutes later. The spot was a nice quiet road near Löwygrube, hosting some single-family homes. If the spot would have been 10m further in the right direction, we could have given a Coffin Potato Achievement to one house that was undergoing deconstruction. Luckily it didn't, otherwise this would have been an obvious thwart. After wondering where to return the public bike of lsblk and being directed by a friendly older lady, we made our way out of the biking hell that are the Southern districts of Vienna to grab a bite in a bakery before splitting up.

Only two minor quotes

  • While on a bridge above an Autobahn: "Look at that! See how pretty nature is! The rush hour traffic jam!" -- Greenseaturtle
  • lsblk: *mentions Geohashing.* Greenseaturtle: "I almost wanted to tell you what that is, by reflex."

Photos

More will be added when Turtle sends me the images. Or maybe I don't have to do anything and they will magically appear by themselves?
