At the river junction, the Wiener Neustädter Canal crosses the Triesting using a historic aqueduct.

Today, this area is a popular excursion destination, combining the technical history of the former canal structure with nature-oriented cycling and hiking trails.

The rest stop at Rennbahnteich is located directly on the Thermenradweg (Thermal Bath Cycle Path) by the Wiener Neustädter Kanal in Kottingbrunn. A cozy bench right on the water invites you to take a relaxing break during your bike tour. The flat and continuously asphalted route makes this idyllic spot a perfect destination for your next excursion.

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 Wiener Neustädter Canal is a true masterpiece of engineering from the early industrial age. It was originally intended to form a connection from Vienna to the Adriatic Sea: Ultimately, this was no longer necessary due to the invention and economic importance of the railway.
