The official flood warning is at the Upper Austria hydrographic service
These numbers describe the river. They are not a flood warning — the official flood-vigilance level for this station is set by the Upper Austria hydrographic service.
Live lake levels and the official flood forecast for Upper Austria. In a flood or emergency the warning comes from here and from the Land Oberösterreich warning centre — not from this page.
The Hallstättersee rises and falls with rain and snowmelt across the whole valley, so it moves over days, not minutes. The gauge sits at Lahn, the southern end of the village.
High water has reached the shore lanes before; the worst recent flooding came in June 2013, when days of rain pushed the lake and the Mühlbach over their banks. The Seeklause weir at Steeg, at the lake's outlet, regulates how fast the lake can drain.
