Vienna St Ulrich’s Platz urban sledding

Sledding on St Ulrich’s Platz Vienna.

The first in a series of photos showing some of the things that make Vienna such a great place to live.

This one says that the snow is not being shoveled in this location so that people can use the area for sledding. It’s a pedestrian area around St Ulrich’s church in the Neubau District (7. Bezirk). It snowed today so I’ll try to get an action photo!

This sign says that snow will not be cleared from the pedestrian area to allow people to sled here.

Well, it snowed a lot last night and I was able to get the photo below at “sledding rush hour” about 3:30 pm on Saturday afternoon. As you can see the hill is busy and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
