view of regatta course Linz-Ottensheim
The regatta course of Linz-Ottensheim was constructed on an arm of the Danube in early
1972 before a lock and hydro-electric station was built. The extension to eight lanes was
completed in 2006. Since 1972 international rowing regattas as well as the Austrian
Rowing Championships have taken place regularly. The venue has hosted the World
Rowing Junior Championships in 1998, the Rowing World Cup in 2007, the World Rowing
Junior & Non-Olympic Senior Championships in 2008, the Nation’s Cup in 1990 and 2001,
as well as the World Rowing Under 23 Championships in 2013.
