"Europareservat Unterer Inn" - an important hub and living space for water birds.
The Bavarian- Upper Austrian "Europareservat Unterer Inn" spreads transnational about 55 km, beginning at "Haiming" up to "Neuhaus/ Schärding". It consists of surfaces of water, warp and isles of about 5500 hectares. In this nature- and bird-reserve, there are a lot of river meadow woods and a lot of birds and other animals. Plants and animals of threatened species, like the beaver live here as well. The "Europareservat Unterer Inn" belongs to the "Ramsar"-areas (because of its importance).
Some interesting historical facts: The Romans called the river Inn "AENUS" which means "the Churning". Until the middle of the 19th century, the undamped river streamed meandering form the Alps.
