This fishing ground comprises approx. 5 km of impounded river Danube plus approx. 2 km of the river Perschling and approx. 22 ha of Danube back water. The latter had formerly been the main bed of the river, which had been separated from the main river, first by the regulation of the Danube and afterwards by the construction of the power station at Greifenstein. These areas are famous for their wonderful back waters, perfectly protected against disturbances of any kind by a zone of wood and reed.

Extended fields of water lilies provide a special attraction for these natural habitats and excellent living conditions for the fish. Special attention has been paid to the Salmonid fish stock. Giant pikes, pike perches and wels are being caught regularly. The above-mentioned back waters also provide the habitat for extremely large carps. They are easily accessible by small boat from your berth.

The limited number of annual season licenses and the possibility to do night fishing wels from July to September have made a license for this area a special attraction. Whereas annual season- and day licenses are obtainable for the main river, only annual season- and guest licenses are available for the old river arms.

It is compulsory to have an official fishing- or guest license for Lower Austria.
