A nice place for a visit and an inspiring area for running. I am quite lucky to have the opportunity to do some sports there because i am living not far from Belvedere palace in vienna. I am usually there on weekend morning, and as you can see there are not yet many tourists. It is really nice because adjacent to the palace there is the botanical garden of the university of vienna and running there is almost like running in pure nature.


Above You can see the entrance to the palace park.
(the palace itself is behind).
On the left picture you can see one entrance to the botanical garden. Alpengarten is “garden of alps” and in fact, there is an area which is related to plants of the alps (in the middle of the town).
I always take this entrance when i am running, it is about 50m from the entrance shown above.
The picture below is from is from inside the botanical garden. There are not too many people there so it is in some way a insider tip.
I thougt why not share some pictures. It is always a great time for me. I mean running itself is a very inspiring time, i always create a lot of ideas during that one, or one and a half hour.

So it is always a good time for me, time feeling “good to be here”.
Kind Regards

That’s absolutely gorgeous. You run too? It does look like a great place to run, and much better than a city centre gym!
re your comment: you’re so right on both counts. I think these are the subconscious fears I’ve had from being a gifted child at school who never had the chance to really shine. I’m doing OK and working towards my dreams. Thank you so much.
So we are both running. I think it is very helpful for thinking positive. Thank you for coming, i am very glad about that.

I love Vienna. I visited there last year and it is so grand and beautiful, you’re lucky to live there
Indeed i am lucky. I guess everyone likes his home in some way and is proud of it. Thank you so much for your very nice comment.
