The history of Strombad Kritzendorf dates back to 1887. At that time, there was a swimming basket in the Danube to allow even inexperienced swimmers to swim safely. Over the years, the bath developed into a renowned bathing spot for the Viennese. End of the 70s, the bathing was discontinued. Since then, the electricity bath is freely accessible. You can swim in the Danube, but there is no bathing supervision.
