After the access you start paddling and enjoy the steady flow of the river to casually drift underneath the picturesque bridge in Aich. Use the mainstream in the middle of the river Enns, because the right arm of the river usually isn’t passable.

After this part you change to the middle of the stream on the right side, because here you encounter a great eddy perfect for practising. The artificial eddies on the left side should be avoided, because driftwood and wooden piles in the bottom water could cause very unpleasant surprises.

Approximately 1.5 km downstream, the Enns has a beautiful island in store for you, which also creates two arms. Ideally, you should paddle in the middle of the left arm of the river and thus avoid the eddies on the left side. Should you decide to take the right arm of the river, it is necessary to check beforehand, if you have free passage.

Approximately 150 m after the island, the next challenge awaits you in the middle of the river – a tree which serves as a fish shelter. You can easily pass it both on the left and on the right side. After that you can playfully continue your adventure enjoying the steady flow until Pruggern.

From time to time and depending on the water level, some smaller obstacles have to be circumnavigated here. You should also pay attention to branches hanging in the river Enns and circumnavigate them trying not to get to close to them. At the wooden bridge in Au you can choose, if you want to pass it on the right or on the left side. Afterwards you should keep to the right side of the river to avoid unwanted encounters with obstacles. Now change to the middle of the stream again and enjoy the beautiful eddies on both sides of the banks.

In doing so, you should stay attentive to not get in contact with branches. Shortly before Pruggern, directly in front of the riding stables, two big eddies welcome you with a beautiful sandy beach including a smooth exit and access to the river. Alternatively, you can also land on the right side in front of the bridge. Here, you have to climb up an embankment, but you can then treat yourself to a hearty snack at the Bierfriedel inn.

Access

On the left river bank, directly after the island behind the swimming lake in Aich (kayak school – rental) or after the distinctive wooden bridge in Aich.

Exit

In Stein an der Enns, directly underneath the road bridge in the eddy next to the right bridge pier. There is a parking possibility on the left side, next to the bridge.
