Water level at the Achleiten gauge

Gauge Achleiten is on the Danube at kilometre 2223.05, on the km 2225.2–2203.33 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

At RNW 258 cm, the site uses 250 cm fairway depth and a 30 cm margin: Achleiten -38. This is a reference calculation, not a current sounding.

This gauge is in an impounded reach. Use soundings and navigation notices for the available depth; a water-level rise here does not give the same increase in fairway depth.

High water: Marke I and Marke II

Marke I (HSW): 485 cm. Navigation may be suspended above Marke II (575 cm).
