Fish ladder in Hermagor: nature experience and city life combined!
Fish ladder in Hermagor completed: Reactivation of the Mühlbach promotes ecological protection and improves the quality of life.
Fish ladder in Hermagor: nature experience and city life combined!
A lot has happened in Hermagor in the last few weeks: The new fish ladder in the ditch has finally been completed and is therefore a real benefit for the region. In this context, the historic Mühlbach, which was a defining element of the city for decades, was also reactivated. This not only enables fish to migrate between different sections of water, but also restores a natural habitat that is urgently needed to support native fish species. According to meinkreis.at, this project promotes the protection of regional waters, which should have a positive effect on the entire surrounding area.
The fish ladder not only increases the ecological continuity of the waters, but also improves the quality of stay in the city center and ensures a more attractive cityscape. Especially in summer, the atmosphere is significantly enhanced by the pleasant microclimate of the reactivated Mühlbach. This piece of lived history becomes visible and tangible again, strengthening the connection between the city and nature.

Before the installation, the Leitzach was interrupted for over 100 years - a condition that has now been remedied. The beneficiaries include species such as brown and rainbow trout as well as the small Mühlkoppe, which now have all the requirements for their migrations. The construction costs were almost half a million euros, and the natural design of the facility has already been positively highlighted by experts. Thomas Mattner, chairman of the Miesbach-Tegernsee District Fishing Association, was grateful for this measure, while Andreas Holderer from the Rosenheim Water Management Office is optimistic about the future functionality of the fish ladder.
Overall, these projects impressively show how important the protection and restoration of natural habitats are for biodiversity. They not only contribute to sustainable water management, but also promote the quality of life of the people in the region. It becomes clear here: When the city and nature work together, everyone benefits.
