In Au an der Donau (municipality of Naarn, Upper Austria), Austria's largest fish ladder, which is designed as a near-natural bypass, was built as part of the construction of the flood dam. It serves to ensure fish passability, supplemented by a 13-metre-high observation tower and the walk-through "Fish Doni" as an attraction for cycle tourists.

Here are the most important details about the fish ladder in Au/Danube:

Location & function: the fish ladder/fish migration aid is located in Au/Donau in Machland and connects the Danube as a bypass arm to allow fish to migrate.
Observation tower: A 13 meter high tower offers views of the Danube, the Machland, the Mühlviertel and the Lower Austrian Alps.
Walk-in fish "Doni": A sculpture made of galvanized sheet metal in the shape of a fish with an open mouth is a highlight for visitors and cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path.
Surroundings: The area is part of the Aulehrpfad in Naarn, which offers insights into the habitat of the Danube floodplains.
It was built as part of flood protection measures.
