In addition to the countless natural beauties, animals such as dragonflies, butterflies, bats and frogs can also be experienced at close quarters. Families like to use this nature reserve for recreational purposes, as a kilometre-long network of hiking trails and the Inn Valley cycle path offer numerous opportunities for leisure activities. As one of the most beautiful river landscapes in Austria, children and parents from Braunau to Schärding enjoy the area with its picturesque meadows. The inaccessible islands not only offer natural beauty but are also a true bird paradise. Families love to go on birdwatching tours in the Lower Inn European Nature Reserve, often in combination with hikes or cycle tours. Rare bird species that have chosen this habitat to breed can be admired. In addition to the birds, you can also admire beavers, a rodent that is particularly popular with children. Guided bird and beaver walks are organised for families and school classes interested in nature. guided bird and beaver walks in the Lower Inn European nature reserve.
