The Wien is a river that flows through Austria's capital Vienna. Geography The river Wien is long, of which are within the city. Its drainage basin covers an area of , both in the city and in the neighbouring Vienna Woods. Its source lies in the western Vienna Woods near Rekawinkel and its mouth at the eastern end of the city centre of Vienna, next to the Urania, where it flows into the Donaukanal ("Danube Canal"), a branch of the Danube.

Thus, the flow of the Wien can quickly increase from a creek-like to in the heaviest rains or during the spring snowmelt in the Vienna Woods, a ratio of over 1:2000. The Wien River and the city of Vienna Within the city limits, the river bed consists almost entirely of concrete, which was installed between 1895 and 1899 i ...
