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.

However, only the lower reaches and the Saalach, which flows into the Salzach, were called Ivarus, since the upper reaches had their own name, Isonta.

The Salzach owes its current name to the salt shipping that operated on the river until the 19th century; the historical center of salt shipping was Laufen. Until after 1800, the river was generally called Salza (i.e., like a Lower Austrian-Styrian river).

It is a nice local recreation area and starts in Krimml and goes to Salzburg. In every town along the route you will find enough good restaurants. In Schwarzach the Bräustüberl and in St.Johann the Brückenwirt and the Venediger Stüberl.
