Mangfall

The Mangfall is a river in southern Germany, flowing through the Bavarian Alps and the Bavarian Forest. It is a left tributary of the Inn River, which it joins near the town of Mühldorf am Inn. The river's name is derived from the Bavarian word "Mang", meaning "muddy", reflecting its historical muddy waters.

The Mangfall originates in the Mangfall Mountains, a range of the Bavarian Alps, and flows generally northwards. It passes through several towns and villages, including the resort town of Bad Aibling and the spa town of Bad Feilnbach. The river is known for its scenic beauty, with numerous waterfalls and rapids along its course.

The Mangfall has been an important waterway for centuries, used for transportation and power generation. Today, it is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and fishing. The river is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, including several protected species.

The Mangfall is part of the Danube River system, which is one of the longest and most important river systems in Europe. The river's catchment area covers approximately 1,100 square kilometers, and its average discharge is about 10 cubic meters per second. The river's water quality has improved significantly in recent decades, thanks to efforts to reduce pollution and improve waste management.
