This is the Classic-open-water-long-distance-event with a distinctive
flair in fjordlike waters of the Ottenstein reservoir north-west of Vienna.
The Backwaterman Waldviertel is the pioneer of the long distance open water scene since 2006. Jumping from the ship to get to the start of the race is legendary.
