!!!Traisen, Fluss

Traisen, River: Lower Austria, southern tributary of the Danube; the 
River Traisen rises to the west of St. Aegyd am Neuwalde (two 
headstreams, alt. 588 m): the Unrecht-Traisen stream flows 
to the north through St. Aegyd and Hohenberg (alt. 488 m), 
the Tuernitzer Traisen stream flows to the northwest and turns to the 
northeast at Tuernitz (alt. 466 m). The River Traisen 
originates at the confluence of the two streams at Freiland: it flows 
through the towns of Lilienfeld (alt. 383 m), Traisen (alt. 
356 m), Wilhelmsburg (alt. 321 m), St. Poelten 
(alt. 271 m), Herzogenburg (alt. 229 m) and 
Traismauer (alt. 197 m). When Grafenwoerth power station was 
built, the confluence of the rivers Traisen and Danube was moved to 
the east. From Spratzern to Traismauer there are two artificial 
factory canals on both sides of the Traisen, which are maintained by 
the Traisen-Wasserverband (Traisen Water Association) and the 
Werksbach cooperatives. The Traisen Sewerage Association, established 
in 1960, built an outfall sewer from Lilienfeld to Traismauer 
(46 km long, with central sewage plant) between 1965 and 1992; 
the most important tributary is the River Goelsen.
