This estuary not only marks the end of a small stream, but also the beginning of a remarkable project for man and nature.The Simbach, which gives the town its name, was an inconspicuous watercourse for centuries - until 2016, when a devastating heavy rain disaster caused it to burst its banks. The dramatic floods left deep scars on the town and on people's consciousness.But a vision has emerged from the disaster: Today, the Simbach has been renaturalized, calmed and redesigned. Before it flows into the Inn, the dam was moved back over a distance of 400 meters - so that the water has more space again. The result is a stream with gravel banks, boulders, dead wood and a natural gradient - ideal for fish, birds and other animal species that have found a new home here.New walking and cycling paths along the banks invite visitors to linger, observe and relax." date: 2026-06-19 modified: 2026-07-16 --- # Simbach estuary into the Inn Simbach estuary into the Inn ============================== Simbach am Inn, Bayern, Deutschland ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/237069/86E6A156FB44ABFCFE81CCFD57DA80646EC9DC5E7B853AA5EE6FF327BE335196/20250715085914.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/237070/9779ABD93D9AFF2650B8023903E0D56B2FA0CD53F68A8B4C79687AA2F16E3D7A/20250715090516.jpg) © Open copyright © Maria Spitzwieser Close copyright [ ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/237069/86E6A156FB44ABFCFE81CCFD57DA80646EC9DC5E7B853AA5EE6FF327BE335196/20250715085914.jpg "© Maria Spitzwieser") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/237069/86E6A156FB44ABFCFE81CCFD57DA80646EC9DC5E7B853AA5EE6FF327BE335196/20250715085914.jpg) © Open copyright © Maria Spitzwieser Close copyright [ ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/237070/9779ABD93D9AFF2650B8023903E0D56B2FA0CD53F68A8B4C79687AA2F16E3D7A/20250715090516.jpg "© Maria Spitzwieser") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/237070/9779ABD93D9AFF2650B8023903E0D56B2FA0CD53F68A8B4C79687AA2F16E3D7A/20250715090516.jpg) 1. 2.
