Klosterneuburg
Europe is one of the five inhabited traditional continents of the Earth. Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. On the east, Europe is divided from Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains and by the Caspian Sea. Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area and third-largest continent after Asia and Africa in population.
Klosterneuburg is a city in Lower Austria with a population of 24,442. It is located on the Danube, immediately north of Vienna, from which, the Kahlenberg and the Leopoldsberg separate it. It has been separated by its twin city of Korneuburg on the other side of the Danube since the river changed its course during the middle Ages. It had population of 24,797 in 2001 with density of 325 inhabitants per square kilometers and has a total area of 76, 2 square kilometers.
