Location and characteristics
Erlachgasse is a long cross street (around 140 house numbers) in the north of Favoritens, which extends from Kempelengasse in the east to Fernkorngasse in the west. It is a one-way route and is interrupted at the beginning (after crossing the Crete Quarter ) between Absberggasse and Laimäckergasse by a square with sports facilities around the Laaerberg water reservoir of the 1st Vienna High Spring Pipeline . In her run she touches the green areas of the Mundypark, the Wielandpark and the Erlachpark. The Viktor-Adler-Platz with its market breaks the Erlachgasse. After crossing Laxenburger Straße , Erlachgasse runs right through the middle of the tram depot of the Favoriten depot. The development on the alley consists mainly of residential houses from the end of the 19th century to the present, a few commercial establishments and bars. Public transport does not run directly in Erlachgasse, but they can always be found in the immediate vicinity.
