Its walls are open from dawn to dusk and are home to a series of eclectic tenants of which two World War II flack towers, the Vienna Boys Choir and their palace, the Porcelain Manufacture and its castle, a summer outdoor cinema and a small theater.

Paths for pedestrians and bicycles, small playgrounds and sports area, as well a a nice small rose garden and farther away bars are to be found along the canal. The more interesting part is walking towards the old town (downstream). After the Augarten Brücke is a nice stretch of bars that on some days give Vienna a riviera feeling. The rose garden (in season) is to be found before the Rossauer Brücke where you see a circle on the map vis-à-vis the summer stage.
