The field excursion
trip took place for students of our Department of Physical Geography and
Geoecology from 5 to 8th September 2018. The main idea was showing river
restoration projects in Lower and Upper Austria, namely on the Danube River and
its tributaries, e.g. on the Traun River or the Ybbs River.
On Tuesday
6th of September, the first day of field excursion trip was focused on river
restoration projects in urban area of Linz City. Especially, on the restoration
of gravel bars on the left-side bank of the Danube River and future vision of
river restoration of Danube River, e.g. creating of islands and side-channels
in Urfahr District.
The second
day of excursion was focused on the river restoration projects in downstream
part of the Ybbs River. We visited reaches between Greinsfurth and Winklarn
villages where river restoration were realized, e.g. fishpass through
Greinsfurth hydropower dam (or weir), distributary of the Ybbs River near
Winklarn for increasing of biodiversity and heterogeneity of channel, or
restoration of mouth of the Ybbs River to the Danube River.
The third
day, we visited hydropower dam in Melk with lock chamber for river navigation on
the Danube River. The last stop was close-to-natural fishpass through
hydropower dam in Melk.
