Öblarn to Niederöblarn: Put-ins, take-outs and highlights
Below the mouth of the Sölkbach the Enns becomes noticeably wider and calmer and, depending on the water level, turns into a fast-flowing but gentle river.
For the first few kilometres there are only a few places to land, as the bankside vegetation is very dense. At higher water levels it is therefore best to stay in the middle of the river to avoid unpleasant contact with branches and plants.
Depending on the water level, there are also some smaller wave trains here, but they should not cause you any problems.
After that the banks open up again. On the left you now have a majestic view of the imposing Grimming – a sight that is sure to thrill you. After about 4 km through a wonderfully beautiful river landscape you reach the mouth of the Salza near Niederöblarn. It is best to land on the left here, take a closer look at the conditions and decide how best to continue. The Enns is constantly finding a new route through the sandbank, so new obstacles and challenges keep appearing that deserve a closer look.
While you are here you will also discover a superb spot for a break – between you and us, it is one of the most beautiful rest stops on the entire tour.
After the confluence, the first section of this fourth stage ends on the right-hand side of the river. The sports area with the airfield and the railway station is close by.
