Gewässerraum
What this layer shows
The legally fixed river space of flowing and standing waters under Art. 36a GSchG. Only installations tied to the location and in the public interest, such as footpaths and hiking trails, run-of-river power plants or bridges, may be built in it, and it may only be designed and farmed extensively (Art. 41c GSchV); lawfully built installations are in principle protected in their existing state. Where no river space has been fixed yet, the transitional provisions of the GSchV apply, with strips on either side of the water. Included: the cantons of AG, BE, BL, FR, GL, JU, SH, SZ, TG, TI, VS, ZG and ZH; cantons whose terms of use do not allow use in this app, or that do not publish the data openly, are not included.

In these presets
Building and planning
The rules a building project meets first: building zones, primary and overlay land use, planning zones, noise sensitivity levels, crop rotation areas, static forest boundaries and river space, national road building lines and aerodrome safety zones, polluted sites, ISOS and IVS. For a parcel, the ÖREB cadastre remains what binds.
Water and natural hazards
Groundwater protection zones S1 to S3, Sh and Sm, protection areas, water protection areas Au and Ao and inflow areas, river space, then the hazard and hazard indication maps, the natural event register and seismic subsoil classes: with bathing waters and the ecomorphological state of the rivers.
