The Prien is a river mainly in the Bavarian district of Rosenheim and one of the longest torrents in the Bavarian Alps .
Surname
The name is probably derived from the Celtic name for the river ( Brigenna = "the one coming from the mountains"). The river gave its name to Prien am Chiemsee .
geography
course
The Prien rises south of the Spitzstein at just under 1149 m above sea level. NN at the Goglalm in the community of Erl in the Tyrolean district of Kufstein close to the border with Bavaria . Only a comparatively small part of the catchment area and the course is on the Austrian side of the border.
The water initially flows to the Kirchdorf Sachrang in the Bavarian municipality of Aschau im Chiemgau , from where it runs north-northeast for a long time through a shallow mountain valley next to the ST 2093. After Aschau itself, the valley widens and the mountain ranges end on the right and left. From here the Prien swerves to the northwest to near Frasdorf , where the A 8 crosses the river, which then runs again in a north-northeast direction, now in valley meanders through a hilly landscape.
After crossing the largest town on its banks, the Prien am Chiemsee market, the last thing it bends to the east is the east of the main town of Rimsting near Bad in the “Schafwaschener Bucht” of the Chiemsee .
After the Tiroler Achen, the Prien is the second largest tributary of the Chiemsee.
