Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The SALZACH RIVER GRAVEL are small pieces of rounded stone, usually no larger than a large coin, of a various colors. It is named for the effect of many years of rounding of the edges due to a flow of water over it.

The Salzach River area:

The Salzach has its source in the Kitzbüheler Alps, more precisely in the
area of the Salzachgeier north of the Gerlos Pass at an altitude of 2,300 metres. After flowing downhill for some 226 kilometres it converges with the River Inn near Braunau.

The Salzach flows in a west-east direction from its headwater region down to Schwarzach, where it changes its course northwards. In the section from Bergheim to Braunau, the river marks the Austrian border with Germany. Being a typical glacier-fed mountain river, the Salzach carries most water between May and August, when snow and glacier ice are melting in the Alps. From its wellspring to the point where it flows into the Inn, the Salzach descends almost 2,000 metres. On its way, it collects the waters of a catchment area of some 6,727 square kilometres. It drains
about 75% of the total area of the federal province of Salzburg. Its main tributaries are the mountain brooks coming down from the Hohe Tauern, the rivers Lammer, Königsseeache and Saalach.
