Harald
May 13, 2026, Bridge Over the Wiener Neustädter Canal and Schwechat River

A very interesting route guidance. The path over the bridge leads along the Wiener Neustädter Canal and over the Schwechat.

An absolutely worth-seeing, listed bridge structure whose name is derived from the bridge's architect, Franz Visintini (1874–1950).

The former 10 locks on this stretch (approx. 16 km), which all had their own names, have disappeared. The Liesing aqueduct torso also had to make way for the new railway. Near Laxenburg, the inflow water flowing from the still existing canal bed (approx. 30 km long), which flows into Wiener Neustadt from the Kehrbach, flows into the Mödlingbach. On the stretch from Laxenburg to Wiener Neustadt, the gradient steps of the locks numbered 1 (Guntramsdorf) to 36 (Sollenau) can still be found today - in whole or at least partially.

The Freudenau power plant is a modern run-of-river hydroelectric power plant on the Danube and was built in the 1990s to generate environmentally friendly electricity for Vienna. The facility combines technical infrastructure with thoughtful architecture and offers exciting insights into energy generation from hydropower along the cycling and walking paths. Particularly impressive is the view of the wide Danube and the lock system as cargo ships slowly move upstream or downstream.

The Freudenau Lock is a central facility on the Danube that regulates shipping traffic at the Freudenau Danube power plant. It has two lock chambers and is operated 24/7 by viadonau. In 2023, a total of 9,739 ships were locked through here; during peak season, approximately 45 ships pass through the facility daily. For cyclists on the Danube Canal or Danube Cycle Path, the lock offers an interesting stop: From here, the locking process can be observed, and its location on the right bank of the Danube in the 2nd district makes it an easily accessible stopover on a bike tour along the Danube.
