Water level at the Ybbs gauge

On 28/10/2026 at 17:15 the Ybbs gauge read 216 cm, 4 cm lower than 24 hours earlier. Source: EuRIS.

Gauge Ybbs is on the Danube at kilometre 2058.79, on the km 2060.42–2037.96 stretch.

Fairway depth and rule of thumb

At RNW 179 cm, the site uses 250 cm fairway depth and a 30 cm margin: Ybbs +41. 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): 493 cm. Navigation may be suspended above Marke II (583 cm).
