The Salzach is a right tributary of the Inn and at 225 km it is the longest and has the most water. Flowing in the Land of Salzburg (Austria), in Bavaria (Germany) and in Upper Austria, it is one of the great Alpine rivers and drains almost the entire Hohe Tauern to the north.Source and more info

Since 1820, attempts had been made to steer the course of the Salzach along controlled paths using concrete and stones. Valuable ecological space for animals and humans was also lost as a result of these regulations and straightening. However, the biggest problem arose from the rapid deepening of the river bed due to the regulatory measures. The Salzach has dug up to 23 meters deep into its river bed. This can be experienced very clearly, for example, at the Urstein power plant in the Königsseeache estuary or in the section between Bergheim and Oberndorf near Salzburg. These washouts caused the highway bridge to collapse on August 13, 1959.
