Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The measure serves the purpose of ecological and hydrological improvement of the river Mur over a length of about 1400 m by dismantling the left bank. In order to promote the erosion of the left bank, initial erosion scars (bays, excavation of approximately 15,000 cubic meters) were created and four temporary islands were built from pouring the existing excavated material into the Mur River. The removal of bank protection and the therewith connected erosion will establish breaklines and a natural shoreline. Eroding banks and gravel bars will form new habitats for typical animal and plant species in and at the water.
