    The Gänshaufentraverse (Gänsehaufen Traverse) is located at the Gänsehaufen in the Lobau in the 22nd district of Vienna, Donaustadt.

    The 13 meter long and 4 meter wide road bridge over the Kühwörther Wasser was built in 1960 and has the object number B224400.
    Translated by
    The non-functional weir system of the Gänhaufentraverse was renewed in 2001 by MA 45 - Hydraulic Engineering, in order to enable positive management of the old arm systems in the event of floods. The new system can be opened quickly in the event of a flood and allows increased nutrient and sediment discharge from the Kühwörth water when the flood water flows back. The viewing platform on the roof of the new weir station offers visitors to the national park the opportunity to observe nature.
    Translated by
    On June 10, 2002, the weir system and the observation tower were opened in the presence of DI Isabella Kossina, Vienna City Councilor for the Environment, and SR DI Christoph Langthaler, MA 45 - Vienna Hydraulic Engineering.
