About FKK Floridsdorf
The northern nude-bathing zone of the Donauinsel, the 21 km artificial island between the Danube and the Neue Donau, lies in Vienna's Floridsdorf district between river kilometres 17.7 and 19.5, toward the island's quieter northern end beyond the Jedleseer Brücke. Together with the larger southern zone (km 2.1 to 5.1), it makes the Donauinsel Vienna's biggest area for nude bathing, and markings on the ground show where each zone begins and ends. The northern section is a long strip of meadows, trees and gently shelving banks along the calm Neue Donau, with small bays where you can step into the water. Compared with the south, it has far less infrastructure: there are few or no food stands or toilets nearby, so it suits people looking for space and quiet rather than services. Nude and clothed visitors share the wider island, so stay within the marked section. Cycling is the easiest way to get there, as the zone is a long way from the nearest stations along the island's paved paths.
Getting there
The northern FKK zone is best reached by bike along the island's paved riverside paths. On public transport, take the S-Bahn to Strebersdorf or travel to Floridsdorf, cross the Neue Donau via the Jedleseer Brücke onto the island, then walk or cycle north to the marked section between km 17.7 and 19.5. Expect a long walk on foot. Access to the water is via grassy banks and shore steps.
What visitors say
Guides describe the northern Donauinsel FKK zone as quieter and less developed than the busy southern zone, appealing to those willing to cycle for more space. The main drawback noted is the lack of food stalls and toilets, so visitors bring supplies. Sources consistently recommend arriving by bike.

Legal context
Nude bathing on the Donauinsel is permitted in marked zones at the northern (km 17.7 to 19.5) and southern (km 2.1 to 5.1) ends, according to Vienna media; ground markings show the limits. We did not open the City of Vienna's own page, so the record is not marked official.
