Very idyllic place

Near Pottenbrunn, the Traisen River underwent comprehensive revitalization as part of a water management pilot project. The aim was to restore the river's natural structure and improve its connectivity for aquatic life. This involved redesigning weirs, constructing near-natural bypass channels and fish ladders, and widening the riverbed. Banks were flattened and ecologically enhanced through the creation of side channels, islands, and shallow water zones. These measures not only improved the river's ecological condition but also promoted natural flood retention areas and enhanced the landscape and recreational opportunities along the Traisen.

Detour to drink spring water

It's a pity that there is no catering here anymore😌

A really good place

At approximately 12.5 kilometers, the Altenwörth Fish Bypass is the longest of its kind in Austria and was built between 2019 and 2022 as part of the LIFE Network Danube Plus project. It allows fish such as huchen, schied, and zingel to bypass the Altenwörth Danube power plant and provides a continuous connection to the tributaries, the Kamp and Krems. The near-naturally designed bypass stream, with shallow water zones, gravel banks, and deadwood, also creates new habitats for numerous animal and plant species. The facility is also of interest to cyclists: Along the Danube and its adjacent waterways, natural paths offer views of renaturalized landscapes, small bays, and ecologically valuable rest areas. It is a successful example of how flood protection, energy use, and biodiversity can be reconciled.
