Natural jewel fishing area Fuscher Ache

Fly fishing between the Großglockner and Zeller See, in the middle of the Hohe Tauern National Park!

The Fuscher Ache rises at the foot of the Glockner massif.

The young mountain stream of 28 km length has the highest water quality and is often called the "Pearl of the Hohe Tauern".

The Fuscher Ache is managed by the VÖAFV Fuscher Ache. Among other things, the focus is on the breeding of the native brown trout. Old fish stock distinguishes the quality of the stocking. The special feature is the presence of an original strain of Donaustämmigen Bachforelle in the upper sections of the river.

The fishing section of the Fuscher Ache begins in the Käfertal, a high valley with an impressive valley head, surrounded by several 3000m peaks of the Großglocknerguppe. It continues through the Ferleitental valley with quiet river passages, rock undercutting and gravel banks, surrounded by lush meadows and beautifully situated alpine pastures. The reservoir is also located here. After the gorge, with various gullies, it flows through the two towns, Fusch and Bruck, until it finally flows into the Salzach.
