The Mank is a river in the Melk ( Mostviertel ) district in Lower Austria . It is about 28 km long and has its source near Plankenstein . Subsequently, the Mank flows through three sleeper ponds that are no longer in use and are now used exclusively for carp and trout breeding. Following the towns of Texing and Kirnberg , it flows past the town of Mank and flows into the Melk at St. Leonhard / Forst . Before that, it flows through the district of Thal, which lies in a narrow valley, where it also powered a mill. The most common fish found in the Mank are nose , barbel , chub , brown trout and rainbow trout as well as the huchen .
