Gauge Oberndorf: current water level and draft

Water level at the Oberndorf gauge

On 25/10/2026 at 05:15 the Oberndorf gauge read 152 cm, 4 cm lower than 24 hours earlier. Source: PEGELONLINE (WSV).

Gauge Oberndorf is on the Danube at kilometre 2397, on the km 2397–2380 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

The RNW is 170 cm and the fairway depth maintained below it (TuRNW) is 290 cm; after deducting 30 cm of safety margin the official rule of thumb comes out at Oberndorf +90. In practice Oberndorf +90 is used here.

The fairway depth below RNW is what counts as long as no Fehltiefen are reported. Fehltiefen (shortfalls in fairway depth) are published on ELWIS Fehltiefen. The safety margin is not a statutory value and has to be taken on top of the reduced fairway depth listed there.

High water: Marke I and Marke II

At high water a Marke of 480 cm applies here.
