4K Vienna Walk: Schönbrunn, Gloriette

Let's take a walk in Vienna and visit the Gloriette atop the famous Schönbrunn Castle Park. The walk goes through nice shady park forests and culminates in reaching the large mirror pond in front of the Gloriette, from which you have a fantastic view over the main park and the rest of Vienna. The Gloriette itself is accessible (for a small fee) via a staircase and offers an even higher view from above. Since there is a café and souvenir shop on the left side, I used the (deserted) right side to show the inside architecture and decorative columns without much interruption.
