Natural Garden at Vienna Central Cemetery is a very special part of the Vienna Central Cemetery (Zentralfriedhof). Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the Vienna Central Cemetery is one of the most visited attractions in Vienna, also due the honorary graves of famous musical composers, writers, and politicians that you will find there. For many Viennese, the Central Cemetery is a favourite place for long walks, contemplation, and relaxation.
Unlike most areas of the highly curated cemetery, the Natural Garden at Vienna Central Cemetery is a natural green oasis of almost 40,000 m? that is intentionally kept wild. A naturally created biotope creates a protected habitat for an impressive number of animal species and plants that find sufficient food sources and water here.
As a result, the Natural Garden is densely inhabited by insects, amphibians, butterflies, bees, but also ducks, and even deer and many more animals. Having said so, it’s a perfect place for eco-educational excursions with children.
A particular highlight for kids is two expansive butterfly meadows, which are not mowed alternately in summer. Also popular is a natural seating area with stone circles you can get to by walking on the narrow paths. Another beautiful part is a green, rocky hill with carefully selected trees and shrubs that ensure an ecological balance.
Once at Vienna Central Cemetery, you can reach the Natural Garden on foot or by bike. Alternatively, at gate 2 of the cemetery, you can even rent e-bikes.
