In the middle of the Mannswörth recreation area is the small but fine ornamental pond. In addition to numerous other fish species, this artificially created foil pond has a very good stock of carp and pike. A perfect fishing and recreation opportunity for young and old on the outskirts of the municipality of Schwechat.

In the years 1785/86[2], the "chamber engineer" Johann Sigismund Hubert, on the orders of Emperor Joseph II, built a protective dam in the area from Langenzersdorf to Floridsdorf, which was intended to prevent floodwaters from entering the Marchfeld. Some Danube arms, such as the Schwarze Lacke, were separated from the river. But already at the next major flood in November 1787, the dam could not withstand the masses of water. The name Hubertusdamm is a reminder of engineer Hubert.[2]

Very suitable for longer walks, as the paths are relatively flat. The best time is around midday to early afternoon on weekdays. Few people and almost no noisy families, you can really talk about relaxation.

It seems to be a very lucrative business for the municipality. It has nothing to do with protecting the residents, because the residents are not on the large parking lots either. The parking enforcement officers also come directly from the municipality of Laxenburg and are also very unfriendly. Rip-off at its finest, bravo Mödling, keep it up.
