Fishing in the Wildschönau

Fishing for trout and char in the Wildschönauer Ache

In the Wildschönau you can fish for trout and char in summer. There are two fishing waters: the Wildschönauer Ache, from Schönanger to the Kundler Klamm, and the Wörgler Bach, from Oberau to the Wörgler Berg. Fishing is possible from 1 May to 1 October.

As a visitor you need a Tyrolean guest fishing card, valid for fourteen days, plus a day licence for the water you choose. The day licence is issued by the manager of the fishing water; ask at the municipal office or tourist office where to get one. This is not an activity for small children: it takes patience and quiet. For older children and teenagers it can be a calm, special experience in beautiful surroundings.
