You're right, it's a cheetah. I love wildcats. Got lucky too since normally they are not as willing to be photographed and their area is quite large.

was there anything between you and that cheetah besides that fence?  Maybe a moat or something?

What, you think I can't take a cheetah?  ;D
I really can't remember, but I'm sure it was safe. No moat though and I was pretty close.

If you can't take it I'm sure you can out run it.

That would be so cool running alongside the fastest beast in the world.

Schoenbrunn was only the summer residence of the emperors, here are some shots of their main residence in the inner city, called 'Hofburg' (clicking on the image titles provides higher resolution):
