!!!Donau-Oder-Kanal

Donau-Oder-Kanal, project dating back to the 14%%sup th/%  century, 
plans the creation of an artificial waterway (approx. 3,000 km 
long) leading from Vienna (Wien-Lobau) along the River March/Morava to 
Hodonin (Slovakia) with a further connection to the rivers Oder and 
Elbe. The Austrian section from Vienna to Angern was to be approx. 
40 km long. However, only a few kilometres of canal bed were 
realised in the Lobau and in the south-western part of the Marchfeld 
region from 1939-1943. The sections of the Donau-Oder Canal that lie 
in the area of Gross-Enzersdorf have been used for swimming since 
1960; sections of the banks have been used as building sites (Lake 
Mariensee).
