The Ilz was once an important river for timber. In spring, the tree trunks from the Bavarian Forest rushed over streams to the Ilz and from here to the confluence of the Danube near Passau. The bridge over the Triftsperre still bears witness to this today.

The Ilzschleife is a natural dream. There is a narrow, gravel path around the Ilz loop. The Gasthof Zur Trifftsperre invites you to refresh yourself.

The drift barrier is a result of the once economically important timber rafting in Passau, which began around 1729. In 1788 the first drift regulations were issued in Passau. At that time, the trip on the Ilz from the Bavarian Forest to Passau took about six weeks. From 1827 to 1831, the 115.5 meter long, 3.2 meter wide and 2.3 meter high Triftsperre tunnel was built near Hals, through which the drift water was directed from then on. This tunnel significantly shortened the longer route through the Halser river loop, with which up to 100,000 cubic meters of wood could be transported annually. The drift itself only came to a standstill after the end of the Second World War due to the continuous expansion of the forest roads.
