Eco-Tourism and Canoeing on the Leitha River

The main objective of this cross-border project is the establishment of a sustainable canoeing tourism industry, which brings an added value to the regional economy, while operating within the framework of ETC AT-HU. The Leitha River, located in the border region between Austria and Hungary, offers many opportunities for an excellent canoeing experience. The 'Small Leitha' area is especially well suited to beginners. In order to establish canoeing as a viable tourist industry for the region, the needed infrastructure (marinas, signage, water-sports centre) has to be built or modernised and the waterway has to be cleared on a regular basis.
