Oberhaus to Aich: Put-ins, take-outs and highlights
After the two islands the channels of the Enns join up again. Now you really need to concentrate, otherwise you could be pushed against the right bank and might even capsize. There is a large eddy on the left bank.
Straight afterwards you can paddle on at your leisure, although depending on the water level the odd wooden stake may protrude from the water, which you should avoid.
Next comes a small footbridge in Haus, which you approach from left of centre, and shortly afterwards you reach the concrete bridge in Weißenbach. Around 100 m before the bridge there are lovely eddies for landing. The small wave train under the bridge is best tackled on the left-hand side.
Now it is a leisurely paddle to Höhenfeld. Here the Enns narrows a little and responds with some lovely waves that make the ride down the middle more exciting.
After the bridge in Höhenfeld stay in the middle of the Enns, as there is a pile of driftwood which you should give a very wide berth. After this obstacle you have almost reached Aich.
As soon as you see houses, concentrate a little harder again, as wooden stakes protrude from the water shortly before the take-out. At normal water levels there is enough room, but at low water this spot is rather tight and you should paddle with care.
Access
At the Enns bridge in Oberhaus.
Exit
On the left bank of the Enns, directly after the island behind the swimming lake in Aich (kayak school – hire), or after the distinctive wooden bridge in Aich.
