Along beautiful trails through the Vornbacher Enge along the InnShortly before it flows into the Danube, the Inn cuts through the southernmost foothills of the Bavarian Forest between Passau and Schärding, dividing it into the Neuburger Wald on the German side and the Sauwald on the Austrian side. At the Johannisfelsen in the Vornbacher Enge, the Inn reaches its narrowest point at 63 meters; surrounded by mixed hillside forests, rocky cliffs rise up—especially on the Bavarian side—and are very popular with nature lovers and climbers.
