The river Inn's story

Here's a nice TV documentary about the river Inn in the central alps. The river Inn is one of the longest rivers in the central alps.

This documentary shows how the Inn starts its life in the Swiss alps near St. Moritz and follows its long journey through western Austria and Germany to finally join the river Danube (also known as the Donau) at the city of Passau.

I really enjoyed the documentary. The camera work is top notch with very nice aerial views as well as close ups of the habitants in and along the river, including mating graylings (around 13:30) which I've never seen before.

We're also shown that decisions to tame ('canalize') the river isn't sustainable. Nice to see that parts of the river are given room again to let the river decide its way.

The documentary 'Der Inn' is in German so be prepared to pick up your language. Yet if you don't understand German, it's still an enjoyable show. I'm not sure how long the documentary can be viewed on-line, so don't wait too long if you want to watch it.
