The long Kelchsauer Ache drains the entire Kelchsau area. Between Hopfgarten and the section of river forming the boundary between Kirchbichl and Wörgl, the Ache is again forced through a gorge, befor ...

Around 380,000 people (2001) live in a relatively small area between Innsbruck and Rosenheim. The highest population densities, in terms of people per square kilometre, occur in Innsbruck (3,149), Rum (2,982), Kufstein (2,374), Hall i.T.(2,210) and Rosenheim (1,977).
