History of the suburb Country road
The suburban Landstraße is, with regard to surface, of the three former suburbs the greatest one. It gave its name to the later third district. The suburban Landstraße has developed from that settlement which was formed around the convent of Saint Nicholas previously located here before the Stubentor. In the area of today's Rochus church where the climb to the terrace of the Vienna valley is overcome developed the old core of the later district. The suburb was originally called, by 1200, "Niklas suburb", about a century later Country road.
Traffic routes
The two already in ancient times used traffic routes are the Landstraße and the Rennweg. Because of their importance, surely they contributed to the decision to establish here a settlement. The at the foot of the Arsenal terrace situated part was called Rennweg, the other, lain deeper, maintained the name Landstraße. Both parts were connected by the later Hungarian alley (Ungargasse). Its name derived from the fact that already in the early days many, mainly coming from Hungary merchants quartered here. The existence of this alley Hungargasse, as it was called earlier, the Landstraße owed much in terms of its development into a major suburb. Much like the later main street of the suburb also the second most important stretch of road of the Landstraße, the Rennweg, goes back to the Roman Limes Route. In the early days there only a kind of mule track may have passed through the shoreland.
Infrastructure
From the 14th century onwards, along the Rennweg (Racing lane) vineyards are provable. In the first half of the 16th century at Rennweg existed a shooting range at which the citizens could practice in the use of weapons. The name of this traffic route is derived from a horse race that from 1382-1534 here usually was held twice a year: the so-called "Scharlachrennen (Scarlet race)".
The Citizen's Hospital of St. Marx was one of the oldest institutions of the district Country road. 1394, it emerged from a former hospice for lepers. It was located far outside the city, also because of the then legitimate fear of contagious diseases. In the 16th century the hospital by generous foundations got to goods such as vineyards, fields and gardens, whose income was used for the maintenance of the hospital. As 1784 the (now old) General Hospital was opened and took over the patient care, the Citizen's Hospital for several decades still served as a retirement home. Finally, Adolf Mautner adapted it to a brewery. This one soon evolved into one of the largest breweries in Austria. As part of the centralization of beer production in Schwechat, St. Marx brewery was closed. The remains of the Citizen's Hospital were damaged during World War II and replaced after the war by new buildings.
Economic Development
From the middle of the 13th century for the suburban Landstraße began a 170-year period of peace. This important fact is often overlooked due to a lack of historic incisions. Not until the end of the Middle Ages Vienna found itself exposed to several sieges. The heavily affected suburbs needed decades to recover.
Only after the last Turkish siege, as no further threat coming from the east had to be expected, in the suburb Country road a very dynamic development set in, so also in the commercial sector. In addition to grocery stores emerged a sugar refinery, clothing stores, tailors, leather goods producers and glassware stores. Also manufactories and factories were founded in the 18th and 19th centuries: a chemical factory, textile factories, mirror factories, book printings. Particularly noteworthy is the piano factory of Johann Andreas Streicher. The stemming from Stuttgart Streicher his manufacturing facility in the first half of the 19th century soon developed to the center of piano manufacturing. In the concert hall in his house at Ungargasse 46 many prominent artists were guests; the "Streicher Hall" was the site of many concerts.
Decisive changes in the overall structure of the Landstraße brought the incorporation of the three suburban communities in 1850 which had been aggregated to the third district of Vienna. The quiet suburb was transformed into a modern district.

It was a very nice and sunny Friday that I got the opportunity to grab my camera and do some freehand shooting while on the go in the streets and on the beach.

One of the highlights of my trip to Costa Rica was getting to see wild sloths. The way they looked and moved was just so bizarre and alien to me. Their movements were slow and methodical, but faster than I expected. They could climb up and down trees, and even switch trees completely, in relatively short amount of times. There camouflage is incredible. We saw at least five sloths during the two weeks we were there, and most of the time they were difficult to pick out from among the leafy green canopy.
My Dad spotted this one while we were hiking along a trail near the Sierpe River. He was hanging out near the start of our trail, so after a few minutes of watching him we moved on. When we got back about 2 hours later, he had moved over several trees and was stretched out between two neighboring branches.
7000 kilometers in 8 days doesn't leave much time for photos. Taken during a much needed lunch break at Three Valley Lake. The lake is shaped like a boomerang, with the two arms going out to the left and the right. At the far end of the bay on the right is the Three Valley Chateau.
Wednesday 25 November, Belfast:- Asda Northern Ireland and Active Communities Network revealed the details of a funding package close to £600,000 which, over the next three years, will support some of the most vulnerable and ‘at risk’ young people in the region.
The donation from the Asda Foundation – the largest provided to a local charity or group to date –extends Asda’s partnership with sport for development charity, Active Communities Network, and aims to support youth outreach into areas with high social deprivation, delivering clear progression pathways into citizenship and employment.
Active Communities Network has been operating in Northern Ireland since 2009 promoting personal, social and community development for young people through involvement in sport, physical activity, arts and culture. The partnership with Asda first began in early 2014 following an initial donation of £58,000 and was accompanied by a trial outreach programme in the areas of North and West Belfast - supported locally by both the Asda Shore Road and Asda Westwood stores.
The partnership has seen over 500 young people in Belfast engage with sport and youth programming to date, with many receiving accredited training and qualifications in citizenship and volunteering. Nearly a quarter of those who have participated in the programme have also gone on to access apprenticeship schemes and work placements.
As part of this new phase of activity, Active Communities Network will open hubs in Coleraine, Omagh and Portadown and work alongside the Community Life Champions (CLCs) at each of Asda’s 17 stores in NI* to run outreach programmes across the region. The Asda colleagues will undergo training enabling them to provide support by mentoring young people, shadowing them during sport and youth work as well as offering them work placement opportunities. It is expected that over 1,500 young people will engage with and be supported by this programme annually over the three years.
The announcement was made at an event held at Stormont in Belfast, hosted by the First Minister, Peter Robinson MLA and deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness MLA. Also in attendance were staff and coaches from Active Communities Network, colleagues and CLCs from Asda and young people aged 14-19 years old from North and West Belfast who have attended previous Asda Foundation and Active Communities Network sessions and gained certificates in cookery and nutrition as well as basic first aid in partnership with the British Heart Foundation.
