Our vacation rentals at Anna and Herbert's offer you a personal base for carp fishing in the southern Waldviertel and for your fishing trips.
To ensure a well-planned fishing trip, the most important factors are choosing the right body of water, familiarizing yourself with the current fishing regulations, and having an appropriate map. Here you’ll find information on published carp populations and practical tips for your trip.
Carp Fishing in the Southern Waldviertel: Choosing a Body of Water
A published record of carp is a good starting point. Whether a body of water is suitable for your plans also depends on the permitted fishing methods, the available fishing spots, and the maps provided.
Before making your selection, consider the following:
- Would you like to plan a single day of fishing or multiple visits?
- How much time would you like to spend traveling there?
- What equipment and method would you like to use?
- Do you need a spot that's especially easy to get to?
- Are your family, a companion, or a dog traveling with you?
You can use these questions to ask the property manager specific details. This will help you get information that’s relevant to your planned visit.

Ednesberger Pond: Carp Fishing Near Gutenbrunn
The local company Seewolf lists carp as part of the fish population in Lake Edlesberg. For more information on fishing, please visit the lake’s operator’s website.
If you're planning a fishing trip in the Gutenbrunn area, it's a good idea to inquire directly about the current conditions.
Be sure to clarify, in particular, which permits are available, which areas you are allowed to fish in, and which baits or rigs are permitted. Also ask about the rules regarding baiting before you bring any related supplies with you.
A short drive can be nice when you have several days of vacation. You can keep your first visit manageable and decide later whether you’d like to return to the same body of water.
For more information, please see our Article on Fishing at Edlesberger Pond.
Himmelteich near Ottenschlag: Check the season and tickets
The municipality of Ottenschlag specifically lists carp as a fish species found in the Himmelteich. It has announced a fishing season from April 1 to October 15 as well as one-day and two-day passes.
This body of water is therefore available for your plans during the current season. For a visit after the published end of the season, you should choose another confirmed fishing location.
If you plan to spend several days at Himmelteich, compare the ticket options based on the actual dates of your visit. Also, be sure to check the current fishing regulations and permitted methods.
You can combine a fishing trip with a visit to Ottenschlag. You can arrange a separate itinerary for your companions and then spend time together again later.
You can read more about this body of water in our Post about the Himmelteich near Ottenschlag.
Schlesingerteich: Check current conditions before your visit
An older fishing guide published by the municipality of Bärnkopf lists carp and trout as the fish stocked in the Schlesinger Pond. Since this document contains information from 2023, you should confirm the current fish population and the applicable fishing regulations directly with the authorities.
The municipality's website provides information on purchasing fishing permits and contact information for the fishing operation.
Before you set out, ask about your desired date, the designated fishing spot, and the conditions for carp fishing. This will help you prepare for your trip to Bärnkopf.

Frauenwieserteich: Another option for a day trip
As a more distant destination, you can include the Frauenwieserteich near Langschlag in your plans. It is located outside the immediate vicinity of Gutenbrunn, so you should allow enough time for the trip there.
The municipality of Langschlag keeps records of carp stocking, including a stocking effort in March 2026. It also offers one-day, two-day, and five-day fishing permits.
For guests who would like to visit a body of water multiple times, different types of passes may be worth considering. Be sure to compare the routes and your other vacation plans as well.
Our Post about fishing at Frauenwieser Pond complements your initial orientation.
Plan your bait, rigs, and groundbaiting in advance
When fishing for carp, you should tailor your gear to the specific body of water and its rules. Check in advance to see if your planned rig and bait are permitted.
The same applies to feeding. Ask whether it is permitted and what the guidelines are regarding quantity and types of feed. Recommendations from another hunting district cannot be applied without verification.
It would be helpful to provide a specific description of your plans: How many rods do you plan to use? What method do you plan to use? Do you plan to fish from the shore?
These answers will help you pack only what you need and leave unnecessary gear at home.
What You Should Bring for a Day of Fishing
Prepare your equipment before you set out and make sure you have all the necessary gear.
Planning includes:
- valid documents and the appropriate fishing map;
- the current fishing regulations;
- a rod, reel, line, and rig that are all matched to each other;
- a suitable landing net and equipment for handling the catch gently;
- required catch list and measuring equipment;
- weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes;
- Seating, beverages, and food;
- One bag for all types of trash.
Arrange your equipment neatly at your station. Keep walkways clear and make sure other guests don't get tangled in cords or exposed hooks.
How to Make a Long Stalking Session More Enjoyable
If you plan to spend several hours by the water, choose a suitable spot and keep an eye on the weather. Shade, wind, and rain can change conditions throughout the day.
Plan your breaks and keep track of the permitted fishing hours. A longer fishing session does not automatically mean that night fishing is allowed. Separate conditions may apply in such cases.
If you bring a companion, you can arrange for assistance and shared breaks in advance. If you bring children or a dog, arrangements for their care should be clearly established, even during a shoot.
Handling the Catch Responsibly
Prepare for handling a caught fish before you cast your first line. Keep the necessary equipment within reach and follow the applicable guidelines for catching, landing, and caring for fish.
Take a photo of your catch only if it can be done without causing unnecessary delay or stress. A lengthy photo session is not consistent with treating the animal with care.
Check your spot before you leave. Take any packaging, leftover string, and all equipment with you.
Our Recommendation from Anna and Herbert
We recommend that you first choose a body of water and check the conditions for your travel dates. If you enjoy your first visit, you can plan another day of fishing.
A familiar place can be pleasant while on vacation: You know how to get there, you know what you need, and you can better anticipate how things will go. Still, be sure to set aside enough time for outings together and relaxation.
