Liesingbach Restoration

Highlight • River

The renaturation of the Liesingbach is a project of the City of Vienna, which aims to redesign the river in a way that is close to nature and to improve flood protection. The Liesingbach flows 18.4 km through the city of Vienna and flows into the Danube Canal1 at Alberner Hafen. The first half of the Liesingbach was gradually renatured from 1997, the second half has been redesigned since 2020.
The renaturation of the Liesingbach is taking place in six parts, which should be completed by the end of 2027. The first component was completed in April 2021 and covers the section between Karl-Sarg-Gasse and Rudolf-Waisenhorn-Gasse in the 23rd district. The second part is scheduled to start in November 2022 and will cover the section between Großmarktstraße and Gutheil-Schoder-Gasse. The other components will be tackled in the following years.
The renaturation of the Liesingbach brings many advantages for people and nature. The bank areas will be flattened, planted and provided with stones and rootstocks to create habitats for animals and plants. The water quality will be improved by building an additional rainwater channel. Flood protection is increased by hydraulic engineering modifications being made to the retention basins. The residents benefit from more green space by the water, which invites you to walk, cycle or relax

Liesingbach Cycle Path: Oberlaa to Kledering

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a beautiful cycle route that leads along the Liesingbach through a scenic area. The route is about three kilometers long and has little difference in elevation. You can also take a longer version that goes to Schwechat and on to the Danube. Have fun cycling! 🚲

Flood Protection Wall on the Mitterbach

Highlight • Structure

The flood protection wall at Mitterbach is a measure to protect the municipality of Zwölfaxing from flooding. The Mitterbach is a tributary of the Schwechat, which has led to flood disasters several times in the past. The protective wall was built in 2012 and consists of an earthen wall with a concrete wall clad in wood. The wall is around 800 meters long and up to 4.5 meters high. It is supposed to protect the village from a 100-year flood.

Confluence of the Triesting and the Schwechat rivers

Highlight • River

The so-called imperial indulgences in Achau, located at the confluence of the Schwechat, Triesting and Mödlingbach rivers, date from the time of Emperor Karl VI. and Empress Maria Theresa. The weir system was rebuilt between 1998 and 2002 for flood protection. The client was the Republic of Austria.

The course of the many rivers and streams in this "water-rich" part of the Vienna Basin is quite complicated: Above is the Laxenburg Palace Park, the Laxenburg Canal, which branches off from the Triesting in Münchendorf, and from the Heidbach, which branches off the Schwechat in the Baden area - also called Badner Mühlbach - flows through. The Laxenburg canal culverts the Schwechat south-east of the palace gardens. In Achau, the Krottenbach, the Mödlingbach and the outflow from the pond in the Laxenburg Palace Park, the Lobenbach, first come together. The Schwechat - also called "Aubach" here - and the Triesting follow immediately afterwards. The Schwechat - the new name for all flowing waters - in turn has two rivers, the Mitterbach - the name for the Schwechat below the imperial indulgences to Schwechat - and the original Schwechat, i.e. the Schwechat-Werksbach. Only in Schwechat itself, at the confluence of the Liesingbach, do these waters unite again to form the Schwechat. (from a writing by SC Maria Lanzendorf)

Laxenburg Swimming Pond

Highlight • Lake

On June 1, 2013, the ceremonial opening of the newly designed “Berger Pond” took place as a bathing pond for the market town of Laxenburg. Even though the external conditions - air temperature and water temperature were both around 14 degrees - were unpleasant, the event was attended by more than 200 guests.

Wooden bridge over the Mödlingbach

Highlight • Bridge

There are several bridges over the Mödlingbach that you can cross by bike. One of these is the wooden bridge near Biedermannsdorf, which is part of the Mödlingbach cycle route.

Another is the bridge at the mouth of the Triesting-Schwechat cycle path, which you can reach on a circular tour from Wiener Neudorf. A third is the bridge at Laxenburg Castle, which is a popular excursion destination.
