The Lech is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts. It is navigable from Steeg to Weißenbach and its beauty and wilderness entice you to adventure on the water.
White water sports are also a lot about experiencing nature. And in order to preserve this unique nature for all of us, please observe the following instructions:
- You are in the middle of the most sensitive area of the nature park. Try to keep your presence as low-key as possible. Do not leave any rubbish behind, keep quiet and only use the official barbecue sites (see PDF download).
- Only use the entry and exit points noted in the plan (see download button below).
Disturbance of the riparian area should be kept to a minimum.
- Do not walk on the gravel banks (especially the central ones).
Rare animal and plant species live here that depend on the untouched nature of these habitats. The Tyrolean Lech, for example, is home to one of the last breeding grounds of the rare and endangered little ringed plover.
- Do not shear across the bottom of the riverbed during the fish spawning season (September to April).
The spawn is deposited by the fish on the bottom of the water and could be significantly damaged by shearing boats.
- Refrain from private rafting on the Lech.
From 01.05.-30.09. it is possible to book commercial rafting on the Lech. Other paddling is permitted all year round (both private and commercial).
- Adhere to the daytime restriction of 09:00 to 19:00.
Many wild animals depend on the peace and quiet at night and at dawn and dusk.
Please do not enter the gravel banks during the breeding season from the end of April to mid-August!
In this way, contribute to the protection of ground-nesting birds such as sandpipers and ringed plovers. People and dogs are among the biggest disturbance factors for the protected bird species.
