Once a stopover on the Orient Express, today a cross-border medium-sized centre with Braunau am Inn, surrounded by the nature of the Lower Inn European Reserve.
The small town of Simbach a. Inn in Lower Bavaria is located on the lower reaches of the Inn, nestled between wooded hills in the north and the river in the south. It is the youngest of the three towns in the Rottal-Inn district and, together with the neighboring Austrian town of Braunau, forms a cross-border medium-sized center.
