Swimming & water sports

Just dive in: off into the cool water!

Cooling off in the Danube and its tributaries in summer is a pleasure throughout the entire Danube region. There are many beautiful places to relax here: from atmospheric open-air swimming pools, to natural sandy and pebble beaches and idyllic oxbow lakes, to outdoor swimming pools in numerous locations. If you want to get active, rowing and water sports clubs offer the right equipment and courses. In addition, many spots along the riverbank offer shaded resting places for relaxing picnics or reading.

Tips for swimming fun on the Danube

The most popular swimming spots include the spacious Aubad Tulln, the Stopfenreuth terrace pool and the natural Weitenegg leisure lake. The natural beach at Rossatz and the Danube beach in Mautern, in particular, invite you to linger and enjoy yourself with their idyllic location right on the banks of the Danube.
