The fish ladder is a modern fish pass that helps migratory fish species such as huchen, barbel, and grayling overcome the weir. It consists of a combination of concrete basins and near-natural channels that allow for a gentle gradient and offer various current zones.

Interesting fish ladder with meandering inflow and labyrinthine pools, with "attraction current" to help fish find access.
