The Salzach is a right tributary of the Inn River and, at 225 km long, its longest and most water-rich. It flows through the province of Salzburg (Austria) and Bavaria (Germany), is one of the great Alpine rivers, and drains the eastern Hohe Tauern mountains to the north.

The ancient Latin name of the Salzach was Iuvarus or Ivarus. The name came from the Celtic river deity Iuvavo, the divine personification of the Salzach. The Romans later adopted this god's name, slightly Latinized, for the Roman city of Iuvavum.

When crossing the Salzach there are beautiful views of the river and also to the north of the mighty Tennengebirge with mountains over 2400 meters.
