The Kalte Gang is a groundwater river in the industrial district in Lower Austria, south of Vienna. It feeds on many groundwater sources in the Mitterndorfer Senke area, which are located in the municipality of Ebreichsdorf right next to the Piesting. For this reason, the middle and upper reaches of the Piesting have been incorrectly referred to as the cold corridor for centuries until today. Measurement results show, however, that the Cold Gang is an independent body of water, which is characterized by more even water temperatures (hence the name) and a higher magnesium sulfate content than the Piesting.

The Cold Gang flows through Velm (the world's first Kaplan turbine was put into operation here in 1919), Himberg, Pellendorf and Zwölfaxing and finally flows into the Schwechat River in Schwechat.

An approximately 1 km long section near Pellendorf was renovated at the beginning of 2019 in order to prevent the increasingly frequent water leaks into the adjacent fields. In the course of this renovation, the entire bank vegetation and all obstructions were removed on both sides and the stream bed deepened somewhat. Nevertheless, beavers, muskrats, nutria and ducks continue to settle in this area.
