Ground Breaking Fish Pass Egglfing-Obernberg
Less than two years after the Braunau-Simbach power plant’s fish pass project started, VERBUND is launching the next major nature conservation project on the Lower Inn River. Within the framework of the EU-LIFE “Riverscape Lower Inn River” project, the largest near-natural bypass channel on the Inn River is being built at the Egglfing-Obernberg power plant over a length of 5.8 kilometres—a new structure-rich aquatic habitat for animals and floodplain plants.
The Egglfing-Obernberg fish pass is part of the EU-LIFE “Riverscape Lower Inn” project, which promotes the near-natural development of the river landscape on the Lower Inn River. In the Lower Inn European Reserve, the LIFE project contributes to the implementation of several EU directives: the Habitats, Birds and Water Framework Directives.
