Water level at the Wilhering gauge

On 28/10/2026 at 17:30 the Wilhering gauge read 253 cm, 11 cm lower than 24 hours earlier. Source: viadonau (DoRIS).

Gauge Wilhering is on the Danube at kilometre 2144.05, on the km 2146.73–2119.63 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

At RNW 214 cm, the site uses 250 cm fairway depth and a 30 cm margin: Wilhering +6. 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): 584 cm. Navigation may be suspended above Marke II (674 cm).
