Bike rental near Spittelau

Spittelau is known for Friedensreich Hundertwasser's colourful district heating plant beside U4/U6 Spittelau. The site marks where the Donaukanal path bends toward the Gürtel and Franz-Josefs-Kai, making it a natural waypoint between the inner canal tour and the Danube-side routes. WienMobil Rad docks sit at the U-Bahn exits; early mornings offer the calmest photos before commuter traffic fills Spittelauer Lände.
