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 Gaaden Uphill is one of the official routes to the Anninger summit. The trail follows a wide forest road throughout and is only moderately steep, but it still feels long. It's definitely less crowded than the Anninger Uphill itself, so perhaps it's the better option.
