Angling

Fishing
Did you know that Donauwörth has the biggest network of interconnected fishing waters in southern Germany? Creeks, rivers and lakes are part of Donauwörth`s surrounding landscape. Therfore, our town is the El Dorado for watersports and a paradise for angling enthusiasts.
These 20 km of Danube and 35 km of Wörnitz, Zusam, Schmutter and Kessel are rich in fish and provide the ideal conditions for an adventurous angling holiday. As a special service your catch of the day will be prepared for you by the hotel cook on request.
We welcome you and wish the best of luck.
