Yesterday I met some of my friends for a Sunday brunch. We tested a vegetarian restaurant in the 15th district, located in a former gym of the Jewish sports club SC Maccabi Wien.

During my vacation the winter break of the boats came to an end. It's good to see them back in the water!
Did you miss me? I was on vacation in France and Spain for 13 days, but now I'm back. And of course I did my first walk along the Old Danube.
"Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you." - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
I discovered this dog at the gateway of a mansion in the 19th district. I was wondering if he was patiently waiting for his owner or just chilling and watching the people passing by...
Oh, the joy when you find again a path that you walked several years ago.... It might sound silly but although I have taken a lot of walks in this area since that time, I always took other paths... until last Sunday... The path leads towards Kahlenberg.
Recently I prefer to do my Sunday afternoon walks in the outskirts, especially in the 19th district. It's as if I leave the daily routine and the stress "down" in the city. And it's a good place to watch nature waking up again...
A magnolia tree in full bloom...
The styles of the mansions in the 19th district are manifold.
Yellow accessoires obviously are a thing this spring...

Beautiful white magnolias and cherry blossom in the Setagaya Park.
The Setagaye Park, a small public park in the 19th district, was created in the traditional japanese style. Its blooming cherry and magnolia trees are very eye-catching in spring.
The view from Oberer Reisenbergweg in the 19th district is not bad at all... The noticeable building on the opposite hillside once housed the General School of Painting founded by Austrian painter Alois Delug.
A sunny and warm spring Sunday, a bench, grapevines and a gorgeous view of the town - not bad at all, I would say...
Kaasgrabenkirche is my favourite church in Vienna. The Roman Catholic parish and pilgrimage church was constructed from 1909 to 1910 and is a very popular wedding site which is no wonder if you consider its beautiful location.
The Bellevuewiese in the 19th district is a popular picnic site and deserves its name: it really offers a "belle vue" (beautiful view).
"Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn." - Lewis Grizzard
