 Klosterneuburg breakthrough between Klosterneuburg and Kritzendorf during the construction of the bypass road |
|
| location | Klosterneuburg , Tulln District , Lower Austria , Austria |
| length | 6.7 km |
| Built | 1911 |
| Used river | Danube |
The Klosterneuburger piercing (a piercing of the Danube ) was created when the Danube was regulated until 1911. The 6.7 km long canal was necessary to ensure the sanitary drainage in Klosterneuburg at that time. Between the Danube and the breakthrough, an approximately 1 km wide strip of alluvial forest , the Klosterneuburger Au, was created.
The canal is considered to be significant for the fish population in the area of the storage zone of the Danube power plant Freudenau . It serves as a spawning area for fish from the Danube.
- Starting point of the canal: 48 ° 20 ′ 46 ″ N , 16 ° 17 ′ 30 ″ E
- End point of the canal: 48 ° 17 ′ 52 ″ N , 16 ° 20 ′ 27 ″ E
