Innauen, German-Austrian border.
This tongue of land is part of the Lower Inn Reserve in Innauen, Germany. The thin strip separates the turquoise-colored, fast-flowing water of the river Inn (left) from a green dead-water area populated with algae (right). A floodplain forest with white willow and black alder plants grows beside the wide, dense fields of reeds.
