Vienna is situated on the Danube river (black line that traverses the image from the top left corner and continues on a southeastern course past the city on to Bratislava on the Slovakian border. The grey patches indicate forests consisting mainly of fir, pine, and oak trees. The various colour patches throughout the image are cultivated agricultural fields.
