The still water originated during the Danube regulation and today serves as a valuable refuge for birds, fish, and other wildlife. Those who are out and about here experience a particularly relaxed atmosphere with beautiful views of the Danube and the island's extensive green areas.

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.
