Start 2026 Moving: New Year’s Day Walk at the Mühlwasser
Details
Hi everyone 👋
A bit short notice, but maybe just right for a fresh start:
Tomorrow, January 1st, 2026, I’m planning a relaxed New Year’s walk along the Mühlwasser. Perfect for getting off the holiday couch, collecting a few easy steps for your New Year’s resolutions — and with a bit of luck, catching some winter sunshine 🌤️
Meeting point:
📍 U2 station Stadtlau, ground floor, opposite the pharmacy (Exit Kaisermühlenstraße)
🕐 1:00 p.m.
From there, we’ll start the Mühlwasserrunde, an easy and scenic loop through the Lobau: calm (and cold) Danube side arms, forests and wide open paths — quiet, flat and ideal for a gentle start into the year.
Route details:
- Duration: approx. 3 hours
- Distance: approx. 10 km
- Elevation gain: minimal (mostly flat)
- Difficulty: easy

We’ll walk at a comfortable, social pace and take short breaks as needed. There are no huts or restaurants along the way, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least 1 liter of water).
It will be cold, so dress warmly and wear sturdy winter-appropriate shoes. Some sections may be muddy or slightly icy, depending on the weather — nothing dramatic.
Some people from my other group will also join.
As always: this is a free, private leisure activity. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
Looking forward to starting the new year outdoors together 🙂
Jörg 🥾❄️
