The ravine has been cut by the ''Myrabach'', a small tributary of the Piesting. The ''Myra'', as the stream is also known, rises at the foot of the Unterberg from the ''Myralucke'', a spring steeped in legend, that is fed by an underground lake. Although the Myra is only a few kilometres long, it used to power a large number of mills and sawmills in the Myra valley. In 1899 plans were laid for ''"the exploitation of this waterfall for industrial purposes and thus the destruction of a natural beauty"''. In 1912 Lord Oskar of Rosthorn (''Oskar Edler von Rosthorn'') built a small pumped-storage power station at the Myra Falls, that was in operation until 1974/1975. The actual ravine ...

Rivers Of Lower Austria
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, a ...
