Students enthusiastic: school trip to Bratislava with the Twin City Liner!

Wien, Österreich - On June 18, 2025, a special school trip for students from the Fichtnergasse high school started. They won the main prize of the quiz format to strengthen the climate walks, which took place in the "48er Tandler" in Vienna in Vienna as part of the first W24 "Climate Show" at the end of 2024. The price included a trip with the Twin City Liner to Bratislava, which was ceremoniously adopted by climate city councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky. The departure took place on June 17, 2025 and the students were enthusiastic about the upcoming journey.

The ride on the speed catamaran, whose route between the old town of Vienna and the Slovak capital Bratislava runs, took 75 minutes. During their stay in Bratislava, the students were able to explore the old town, visit the castle and enjoy time for shopping and ice cream. They started their return trip at 2:30 p.m. and reached Wiener Schwedenplatz in good time at the class at 4:00 p.m.

climate protection and mobility

Climate Councilor Czernohorszky emphasized the importance of the topic of the climate for young people and the need to take the environment into account in mobility. Managing Director of Central Danube, which operates the Twin City Liner, emphasized the energy efficiency of the catamaran, which has been in operation since the 2019 season and has a photovoltaic system. The Twin City Liner is not only modern, but also environmentally friendly and offers space for up to 250 people.

With the school campaign of the Twin City Liner, school classes receive a 50%discount on trips during the week. The catamaran, which dails at 8:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Vienna to Bratislava and at 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., is also equipped with 12 cyclists, which enables combined travel with bicycles. In addition, there is the Euro Velo 6 cycle path, which leads from Vienna to Bratislava and offers cultural highlights along the route.

accompanying educational projects

The topic of sustainable mobility is not only promoted by school trips, but also by educational projects, such as those offered in the publication "climate change". These projects include teaching units on CO2 emissions from various means of transport and support students in choosing sustainable travel destinations. This also includes the planning of climate -friendly school trips and the implementation of surveys via preferred modes of transport in the families of the students.

In the discussion about environmentally friendly means of transport, the importance of electrical mobility and bicycle use is also pointed out. Schools are asked to carry out project days that not only respond to the traffic situation in the school environment, but also present and discuss creative solutions such as car -free cities. These educational approaches contribute to raising awareness of climate protection and further developing practical solutions.

future generations should not only be informed, but can actively participate in climate protection. The Twin City Liner is an excellent example of environmentally conscious mobility that can inspire young people to make environmentally friendly decisions in their everyday life.
