Schwemmbach Wetlands

The Schwemmbach is a small stream that flows through the Kobernausserwald in the Innviertel region of Upper Austria. It rises near the village of Munderfing and flows into the Mattig. The stream was formerly used to drift wood that was cut from the Kobernausserwald. The trunks were transported on the water until they were taken out of the creek at a collection point. Today the Schwemmbach is an idyllic place surrounded by forests, meadows and fields. The creek provides habitat for many animals such as fish, frogs, dragonflies and birds.
If you want to visit the Schwemmbach, you can take a nice hike or bike ride along the stream. There is a cycling and hiking trail called "Via Nova - Triftweg" that will bring you closer to the history and nature of the Schwemmbach. The path also leads you to a great bathing spot where you can refresh yourself in the clear water. The bathing area is near the village of Lengau and is accessible free of charge. You can also have a picnic there or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
