๐พ The western end of the Hundefreilaufzone Urfahr/Donau is a designated dog-swim spot on the Danube. Dogs can be off-leash on the gravel beach and in the water within the signposted zone; outside the zone, the municipal leash law applies. The current can be strong in spring snowmelt - better for confident swimmers and check the river level before letting a small dog enter.๐
Open year-round; the water is comfortable for dogs roughly June through September
๐ก Bring a towel and clean water - the Danube carries silt, and a quick rinse with bottled water before the dog gets back in the car saves the upholstery.
