Löwygrube

Löwygrube is a park and protected landscape area in Favoriten featuring meadows, pathways, and spaces designed for outdoor recreation. The grounds include playing fields, picnic areas, drinking fountains, and a large off-leash zone for dogs.

The name comes from Jacob Löwy, who owned a brick factory in Oberlaa during the 1800s. The site was later developed as a recreational area and given protected landscape status.

The park serves as a gathering place where local residents play sports, exercise, and spend leisure time with family and friends. It functions as an important neighborhood meeting point used daily by people of all ages.

The park is easily accessible during daylight hours and has drinking fountains at multiple points. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the paths vary between grass and paved surfaces.

On clear days, visitors can see far across the plains from elevated spots in the park, with views reaching toward the mountains of Slovakia. This extensive vista is unusual for a Vienna park and offers a surprising perspective on the surrounding landscape.
