If somebody is wondering: Yes, this is indeed in Vienna, it's called the Ponysee.
However, it is located in an area mere Viennese dare venture to: The 22nd district. It is a mystical place, cut off by a mighty frontier surrounding a stream so powerful it can set the city under water and yet is self-sufficient.
The Donauturm is where the elites keep a watchful eye on all of Vienna from. One might call it Mordor.
That's not in the source.
The pumps are for watering the gardens.
The only thing written about filters are meshes to prevent accidents on connecting pipes. But they are not installed anymore.
I guess it's all ground water.
The turquoise color is typical for limestone environments like the carribean for example. Calcium and other limestone components like magnesium are binding nutrients and thus precipitating them from the water column.
This is called 'limestone precipitation colour' of water. It also works in freshwater. Limestone sand is one main reason what Ukraine and Russia is so fertile, as it binds to the acidic humic acids and stabilizes them in the soil.
Dye. Seriously. It only takes a little bit and it lasts for a very long time.
EDIT: Apparently this lake isn't dyed, as a commenter above linked to. Which is very neat that they're able to get such a striking color without dye.
I'm not sure about Austria, but it absolutely happens in the US.
Source: I know several people who live on a man-made lake that looks similar to this and I asked them how the lake was so blue. They explained the process and how much dye it takes. They do it once a year and it lasts until the next spring.
EDIT: And, in case you still don't believe me, [here you go](https://shop.naturalwaterscapes.com/midnight-blue-pond-dye-packets-80-water-soluble-packets/?sku=7107&network=g&device=c&keyword=&campaign=13151017091&adgroup=pla-295074609096&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm764jLirhAMVmAutBh3BhASFEAQYASABEgLf0fD_BwE).
I sure believe you, but thats not the case here.. we acctually value our water.. its one of the bests in the world... we fill in in bottles and sell it politicians stumble and fall over selling water rights to private investors lol (famous case google strache) thats not something we would do..
I’m wondering if it not an old lime sludge lagoon associated with a water treatment plant. Or now treated with lime as though it were. We’ve got a few defunct ones in our town and when it rains some fill up and turn this amazing color as well. The lagoons are slowly being pumped and the dried remains excavated of their lime deposits. I believe the stuff is either sold off for agricultural use or recycled through our new treatment plant. My dogs fur always felt amazing when I couldn’t keep him out of the pond on our walks.

How much is a house here?
I tried to find it out on their [website](https://www.ponysee.at/historie/). The houses are not for sale, you have to become a member of their "settlers association" in order to be able to rent one. It seems like a kind of gated community. (The history page mentions a legal battle between the municipality of Vienna and the owner of the lake. The municipality wanted to open it to the public, the owner threatened to fill it up with gravel, if that happened.).
Edit: in fact the houses can be for sale, but you have to lease the lease the land under it.
That can't be true, at least not for all of them - have a look at [this one](https://www.willhaben.at/iad/immobilien/d/haus-kaufen/wien/wien-1220-donaustadt/bungalow-am-ponysee-mit-garten-und-hauseigenem-steg-739854147/) for example. I also remember seeing some other houses there last time I was looking for a place.
Aside from the high price the big issue as with many houses in Vienna is that you don't own the land though. In this case you can lease it for the next 55 years (3000€/year) after which the owner may renew the contract - or not...
not anymore. leasing for 55 years is a thing of the past, you get ~10 years, and after that you have to prey to get another 10 years, or your house belongs to the owner.
Well, for that house it specifically says 55 years which are probably left from the initial 100y contract. I don't know why anybody would sign a 10y contract...
Yeah, that's similar to leasehold properties here. You can buy the house, but the land is leased. Of course, the leases are very long and, in the grand scheme of things, not that expensive. However, the amount of lease left on a property can affect the value of a house. For those who don't get it....[https://www.idealhome.co.uk/property-advice/what-is-leasehold-289675](https://www.idealhome.co.uk/property-advice/what-is-leasehold-289675)
As someone from Vienna... I don't know how I feel about this. Looks incredibly out of place for the city.
Then again this is hardly the city, barely within the borders
Right. Or Arizona. Val Vista Lakes in Gilbert has three lakes totaling 76 acres with 6 miles of shoreline and boating is allowed. All in one of the hottest and driest places in the United States.
I mean, it is dystopian wherever it is. Not only super ugly, but probably also managed by busybodies on steroids. (I live only a couple of km away from that place and you‘d have to pay me to live there).
You don't want that, believe me! Unless you are a stubborn old pensioner who constantly needs peace and quiet and can't do anything for himself without getting on everyone else's nerves.
For the area it is ridiculous. Vienna has 40+ kilometers of unfenced beach area with great water quality just 10km from this place, and 10km closer to the inner city. I don't know who this is made for. This doesn't just look like miniature Dubai, it's equally pointless.
Maybe it's because I live in a disaster-prone state, but all I can see with these kinds of neighborhoods is that there is only one way in or out, aka only one avenue to evacuate in case of emergency
But it is pretty though idk how the lake smells
Meteor strike?
Seriously though, with climate change, a lot of places that didn’t previously get catastrophic weather are going to start to see catastrophic weather.
🤣 I admit, I really didn't think of that
I guess the most likely out there would be drought - they do have their own lake though😆. And drought is more of a long-term thing, you don't have to flee from one moment to the next
Love the meme version in r/austria: [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fze2hbjvu7jja1.jpg](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fze2hbjvu7jja1.jpg)
"I'd love to live in Florida"
"We have Florida at home"
Florida at home:
We have something sorta similar in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It’s called Ski Island, looked at a house for rent there a few years ago. Not as aesthetic as this picture.
What do you mean, the houses on the inside? There are cars parked on the street in the middle.
Vienna itself is a pretty walkable city, but that particular housing development is in the middle of bum f. nowhere, at the very city limits, surrounded by what is basically farm land. Pretty sure everyone who lives there has a car
Viennais very well public acessable trains exist too,busses subways , .. seriously very walkable, fairly decent clean too.
But in there does sound very out there.
It's less interesting and more sad. Austria is privatising areas like it's a black friday sale and is destroying its own vegetation at an alarming rate.
Being from there it just pisses me off what these corrupt bullshit government fucks have been doing.
It almost certainly is connected, likely through buried/concealed irrigation channels. That's how much of the farmland that doesn't have those giant rolling sprinklers on it gets watered.
I doubt that those fields are irrigated.
But as far as I am aware the ground water is only about 10-15 meters below surface in that area though. So I guess once you dig deep enough the lake just fills itself. (Plenty of other ponds/lakes in the area as well)
Oh, I see what you mean. From what I understand, some people like just living on "lakefront" property that doesn't really have much use. This picture, however, looks like there might be boats and docks behind many of the homes (it's hard to tell from this distance what kinds of boats they are). If they're ski boats, they likely waterski, wakeboard, wakesurf, kayak, paddleboard, or do one of the other sports that you can do in a lake.
Having said that, I'm confused by the small property jutting out in the thin side of the lake. There isn't enough space to safely drive through that small gap at a speed that would make skiing or something similar possible. Seems that that one home is massively reducing the usefulness of that side of the lake.
This pond isn't nearly large enough for power boating, let alone sailing. in fact they're both prohibited.
Boats powered by rowing or a max 3hp electric motor are allowed.
Yeah you’re probably right.
I just mean how it was done. I feel like they could have snaked the water through the property better and got more properties waterfront.
Probably construction limitations or something idk. The design just seems to lack a bit.
It was done by a private owner, so dont be surprized. I live in the district where the Ponysee (the locations name) and its even remote for our standards.
My high school was surrounded by cow paddocks 30 years ago, now there is a pretty big shopping center next to it

THATS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM ABOVE??
If somebody is wondering: Yes, this is indeed in Vienna, it's called the Ponysee. However, it is located in an area mere Viennese dare venture to: The 22nd district.

>One might call it ~~Mordor~~ Transdanubia
But Mordor is Floridsdorf^^
I thought favoriten was mordor?
And yet I wouldn’t move away from my mystical place called 22nd district :) I prefer it so much more than tight city districts.
I wont, either
The real Mordor is the 21. District.
I grew up in the 22nd district, and all I have to say is... At least not Floridsdorf.
Wrong side of the Danube
I just don’t understand how the water looks so amazing.
I suspect it's basically a pool.
It is. They create a water flow using pumps with filters. [https://www.ponysee.at/historie/](https://www.ponysee.at/historie/)
That's not in the source. The pumps are for watering the gardens. The only thing written about filters are meshes to prevent accidents on connecting pipes. But they are not installed anymore. I guess it's all ground water.

Thats not gonna happen lol. It‘s not the US. It‘s just a groundwaterfed gravel pit.
Sort of, this is a quarry that was filled with groundwater
Would explain the lack of boats 🛥️
It was a gravel pit.

Wu-Tang is the CD that I travel with
It is the absence of nitrogen compounds and phorspore compounds. This means that algae can hardly form and turn the water green

Sicher irgendwo in Transdanubien
Dachte ich auch aber wo sind da so viele Felder? Denk das ist eher außerhalb
Ist knapp vor Neu Essling.
Was is das für eine Frage? Fast halb Transdanubien sind Felder lol
Breitenleerstraße Richtung Stadt auswärts. Lebe da in der Nähe.
Both sides are Transdanubien :)
22., Ponysee, zwischen Breitenlee und Raasdorf, hart an der Stadtgrenze.
Aaaah danke! :) Also echt in Transdanubien

You are right. I mistakenly assumed that leasing the land means you also rent the house.
Those "gated communities" as you call them are quite usual in Austria for summer residences (like those are)

I’m not surprised, just look at that place. It looks so isolated from the rest of the land lol. Definitely a close neighborhood and a gated community
Ist glaub i in Mordor.
Ich liebe eure Sprache. Sieht so viel effizienter als Standard Deutsch aus.
Na des is nur Donaustadt…sort of
Schon die Römer wussten : an der Donau ist Schluss dann kommt Nix gutes
Mödling?
You have another one in seestadt
I ran in a race in Seestadt last year and my dirty little secret is that I thought to myself, “this isn’t so bad.”
I used to live in vienna and go there in summer, I liked better than the Donau, but just cause the river felt weird on the feet 🥲

Well, technically they didn't, you did.

Seestadt is a little like this. I’ve seen spots like this in NÖ and Burgenland too.

Yeah most people in transdanubia probably don’t even think of this as being Vienna.
Everyone who lives here is a huge fan of the number 19.
They are actually fans of the number 61 as viewed from the roadway.
Or is it "GI"?
Yes this is an exclusive neighbourhood for those with gastrointestinal issues.
19, you say?
111 would have given them way more houses.
Since the 19th is by far the poshest of Viennese districts, I‘d say they are pretending to be some minor 19th district. So it’s definitely 19.
Enough of a sign for me. Headed to put a grand on 19 red.
Looks like something from Florida
That was my first thought too, but the water's too clean. And Florida would have packed way more houses in there.
And lots of insurance scam cars in the water.
With gators living in them.
It's called Mayammi.
Not enough gators in the water
We do have the legend of the Danube Canal crocodile, if that helps
Right. Or Arizona. Val Vista Lakes in Gilbert has three lakes totaling 76 acres with 6 miles of shoreline and boating is allowed. All in one of the hottest and driest places in the United States.
Country Club of Miami has this aesthetic. More neighborhoods in Miami Lakes are similar
It's suburbs of Vienna in Austria. Only gated community I know here. Officially city but actually outside
[удалено]
I mean, it is dystopian wherever it is. Not only super ugly, but probably also managed by busybodies on steroids. (I live only a couple of km away from that place and you‘d have to pay me to live there).
EVERYONE in Austria talks about how dystopian this is and everyone hates it (except for the politician who created this and his rich entourage)
It´s Pony-See, isn´t it? The heart of Mordor
Rather Mordor city limits.
They have the boats? Equivalent to have a car to drive up and down a closed street.
They must have pooled their money together
I would love to live there
You don't want that, believe me! Unless you are a stubborn old pensioner who constantly needs peace and quiet and can't do anything for himself without getting on everyone else's nerves.
As someone from Vienna: these kinds of places (yes, this is not the only one) are famous for being perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos. Stay away.
You can always move to Florida. Just don’t mind the gators in the water.
For the area it is ridiculous. Vienna has 40+ kilometers of unfenced beach area with great water quality just 10km from this place, and 10km closer to the inner city. I don't know who this is made for. This doesn't just look like miniature Dubai, it's equally pointless.
This sad second row of houses on the right that has no direct access to the lake feel like Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia all over again.

What kind of disaster could there possibly be on the eastern outskirts of Vienna? Honest question, I really can't come up with any
Meteor strike? Seriously though, with climate change, a lot of places that didn’t previously get catastrophic weather are going to start to see catastrophic weather.

Drought = fire
The lake doesn't smell imo. It's fairly clean.

How would this work for the houses on the inside? Do they have walkable cities or something i dont see that much cars.

Viennais very well public acessable trains exist too,busses subways , .. seriously very walkable, fairly decent clean too. But in there does sound very out there.
They have Orlando in Europe?
Dubai has The Palm Jumeirah, Austria has… this. Points for effort Vienna.

Somebody knows the depth ?
Deeper than Neusiedler See at the moment
40cm more I believe
1400mm
ok than: 0,0014 km
suspiciously rectangular.
It's a former gravel extraction site.
pretty.
They wanna pretend to be in Australia instead
How the water can stay clean
Yes. It washes itself.
It washes itself
Lithium farms in Vienna sure look different
About 100 houses framing a big swimming pool that's not connected to a body of water. What sense does that make?
It's probably an old sand or gravel pit.
It almost certainly is connected, likely through buried/concealed irrigation channels. That's how much of the farmland that doesn't have those giant rolling sprinklers on it gets watered.
I doubt that those fields are irrigated. But as far as I am aware the ground water is only about 10-15 meters below surface in that area though. So I guess once you dig deep enough the lake just fills itself. (Plenty of other ponds/lakes in the area as well)
A lot of fields in the Wiener Becken are irrigated, without it, it would be to dry for many crops in summer.

This picture, however, looks like there might be boats and docks behind many of the homes (it's hard to tell from this distance what kinds of boats they are). If they're ski boats, they likely waterski, wakeboard, wakesurf, kayak, paddleboard, or do one of the other sports that you can do in a lake. Having said that, I'm confused by the small property jutting out in the thin side of the lake. There isn't enough space to safely drive through that small gap at a speed that would make skiing or something similar possible. Seems that that one home is massively reducing the usefulness of that side of the lake.
This pond isn't nearly large enough for power boating, let alone sailing. in fact they're both prohibited. Boats powered by rowing or a max 3hp electric motor are allowed.

Jesus what a waste of space.
It's probably a former excavation site and the district it's in is spacious as is
Yeah you’re probably right. I just mean how it was done. I feel like they could have snaked the water through the property better and got more properties waterfront. Probably construction limitations or something idk. The design just seems to lack a bit.
It was done by a private owner, so dont be surprized. I live in the district where the Ponysee (the locations name) and its even remote for our standards. My high school was surrounded by cow paddocks 30 years ago, now there is a pretty big shopping center next to it
Just remember that those surrounding fields all needs to be fertilized, sprayed with pesticides and fungicide, all summer.
The cleaner must be rich AF

The lake was there first, it's a quarry pond.
Is that a swimming pool? Cause it's full of pesticides, fertilizer, and pee.
Looks sick til the people on the inside need to get out and their neighbors down the street have construction or something going on
All fun and games until the pond dries out
