river course
the riverEngadin rises in 2.484 m height from the Lunghinsee with the Malojapass in Swiss. It flows through the Silser -, the Silvaplaner - and the pc. Moritzersee. After passing the Austrian border with Hochfinstermünz it flows by the upper Inn valley, in the Austrian Land of the Federal Republic Tirol and the state capital Innsbruck in the Unterinntal.

The Innflows with Passau into the Danube. The water of the Inns, which comes from the alps, is green, that the Danube blue and the Ilz coming from a moorland black, so that the Danube a longer piece after thatConfluence three water colors (green/blue/black) exhibits. Participates remarkable, how strongly the green water of the Inns pushes the water of the Danube aside. This hangs beside the occasional very large quantity of water of the Inn mainly with the strongly different depth of two waters(Inn: 1.90 meters/Danube: 6.80 meters) together - „the Inn rushes over the Danube “. The Inn in the annual average leads also about five per cent more water than the Danube, but agitates this mainly from the strong floods of the Innswith the thaw ago, while the Danube exhibits a clearly more constant discharge - it leads most time of the yearly (Octobers with April) more water with itself. Even if the optical impression puts it thus close, of the delta thatDanube in the Inn to speak, is justified the naming „Danube “for the resulting river - not only by the length of the put back distances (Danube: 647 km/Inn: 510 km).
