A visit to the historic fish farm. In Thaur

The Thaur fish farm embodies the harmony between people and nature and is a living example of sustainable agriculture and the responsible use of natural resources. Nestled amidst the breathtaking mountain landscapes of Tyrol, in the small village of Thaur, it is a gem that captivates visitors.

Fed by crystal-clear water from the nearby mountain streams, the farm offers ideal conditions for a wide variety of fish species to thrive. As soon as you enter the facility, you can sense the loving dedication with which Nikolaus carries out his work here. The tanks are kept immaculately clean, with the fish swimming about cheerfully.

From fish rearing, through stock and table fish, to Nikolaus’s passion – the native brown trout – visitors learn everything there is to know about the Thaur fish farm, which has been in existence since the time of Emperor Maximilian I.
