The Ischl , also the Ischler Ache or on the upper reaches just the Ache , today also the Ischl river in isolated cases , is a river in the Salzkammergut . It drains the Wolfgangsee near Strobl and flows into the Traun after around 12 km near Bad Ischl .

Run

The Ischl leaves the Wolfgangsee at its eastern end at Strobl and flows relatively straight from west to east. For the first 5 kilometers it forms the municipal boundary between St. Wolfgang in the north and Strobl in the south and thus the state border between Upper Austria and Salzburg . It then flows entirely in the municipality of Bad Ischl in Upper Austria. It breaks through the threshold to the Ischler basin between Jainzenberg and Kalvarienberg and flows north of the city ​​center of Bad Ischl into the Traun.

The Ischl flows in a relatively wide valley called the Wolfgang / Ischl valley . Their mean gradient is 5.4 ‰. Tie Talung was formed by the Wolfgangsee glacier of the Traungletscher in the last ice ages. It separates the Osterhorn group south from the Schafberg group (Schafberg-Leonsberg-Zug) north.

The B158 Wolfgangseestrasse runs largely parallel to the river  . The Ischlerbahn (Salzkammergut Local Railway, SKLB) ran here from 1890 to 1957 .

Tributaries

Larger tributaries with catchment areas of more than 10 km² are the Weißenbach from the Postalm region (catchment area: 45.6 km²) and the Schöffaubach (11.7 km²) from the right, as well as the Schwarzenbach from the Schwarzensee (12 km²) and the Rußbach (21 km²) ) from the left.

Surname

The name of the river first appears in 829 as Iscula . A Roman inscription stone from Bad Ischl mentions a Roman customs station Esc , which is interpreted as the abbreviation of statio Escensis and Latinized form of a pre-Roman name and is also associated with the name Ischl. There are numerous interpretations of the name, for example it is traced back to the Celtic word esk (water) or isk (fish), or as a derivative of the Indo-European root ei (walk, run, run). Other interpretations derive the name from the Latin esca (food, bait, bait, carrion) or the Romanic iscla (au).

Economic use

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Ischl with its rich water flow has been used to generate energy. The Weinbach run-of- river power plant supplies a standard energy capacity of 2.37 GWh per year, while the Schönburg-Hartenstein I and II power plants are located on a further diversion route.

Construction and the environment

The Ischl is regulated in long sections by longitudinal barriers and its natural course is impaired. In several places, however, there are still wetlands . The Pfandler Au in the municipality of Bad Ischl is a large, alluvial forest with pine trees. The shrub layer is made up of juniper in particular , and many orchids can be found in the undergrowth . The Pfandler Au is designated as a landscape protection area; such a pine meadow can only be found in Upper Austria at the Alm . The water quality class of the Ischl is I-II.
