During construction of the diversion-type power plant at Fisching from 1991 to 1994, a fish ladder was built alongside the weir. The approx. 350 metre-long fish ladder has the shape and character of an alpine stream and was adapted to the main fish species, the grayling. The average gradient of the channel is 3.4% over a total height difference of 11.5 metres.
