Water level at the Wien Reichsbrücke gauge

Gauge Wien Reichsbrücke is on the Danube, at kilometre 1929.09.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

At RNW 722 cm, the site uses 250 cm fairway depth and a 30 cm margin: Wien Reichsbrücke -502. 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. Wien Reichsbrücke is the weir's control gauge.

High water: Marke I and Marke II

Marke I (HSW): 743 cm. Navigation may be suspended above Marke II (833 cm).
