The Toter Grund nature reserve on Danube Island preserves a former Danube oxbow lake as a relic of the original floodplain landscape. With dense stands of poplar and willow, wetlands, and backwaters, it provides vital habitat for rare plant and animal species. The area has been protected since 1986 and contributes to the preservation of the ecologically valuable river landscape while simultaneously offering space for nature-based recreation in the heart of the city.

The view of the Freudenau power plant, a striking structure, is impressive. The run-of-river power plant, with its locks and weirs, blends seamlessly into the river's course, shaping the scene with a blend of technical functionality and clear architecture. The contrast between the expansive expanse of water, the massive structures, and the movement of the ships passing through is particularly striking. From the surrounding bridges or riverside paths, a wide perspective opens up, connecting the industrial character of the site with the dynamics of the river.
