Description of solution

Summary (Challenges; Objectives)

The flood event in June 2013 lead to eroded bank sections in the part of the Saalach between the hydroelectric power plant Rott-Freilasssing and the confluence of the Freilassinger Mühlbach. A part of the bankway has also been destroyed. In order to protect the resulting ecological valuable riverbank the water authority Traunstein relocated the bankway. Besides a concept of the Water authority Traunstein proposes to make more room for the river in order to promote natural bank development and improve fish migration. The ecological situation will be improved by structural measures (e.g. implementation of deadwood).
