The Inn is a river in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. It is a tributary of the Danube, with 517 km in length.

The source is located in the Swiss Alps in the Engadin region which is named after the river, called En there. It runs north-eastwards, entering Austria, and from Landeck eastwards through the Austrian state of Tyrol and its capital, Innsbruck, and passes the border to Bavaria near Kufstein.

On Bavarian territory the river runs northwards and passes the cities of Rosenheim, Wasserburg and Waldkraiburg; then it turns east, runs through Mühldorf and Neuötting and is enlarged by two major affluents, the Alz and the Salzach.

From here to the Danube, it forms the border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Upper Austria). Cities on this last section of the river are Simbach, Braunau and Schärding.

In the city of Passau the Inn finally enters the Danube (as does the Ilz river there).
