Isengau (landscape)
The Isengau from today's perspective is presented differently than in the early and high Middle Ages . In contrast to the historical Isengau , today it is primarily understood as a landscape region that is closely connected to the Isen River .
Isengau region
The Isengau now includes the Isen valley from its source at Maitenbeth to Mettenheim in the Lower Isental, which shares a wide valley with the Inn from Weidenbach . The valleys of the tributaries to the left and right of the Isen, as well as the upper valleys of the Große Vils from Frauenvils to the source and the Rott from Brodfurth to the source as well as their southern side valleys are added to this.
To the north of the Isen and in the upper Isental, and to the east of the Ornaubachtal (with the exception of the area between Oberornau , Reichertsheim , Steinkirchen and including the Taxberg near Aschau), the Isengau is a hill country with minor differences in altitude (up to 79 m). In the remaining southern stretches of land, especially in the Gattergebirge , the Isengau is a pronounced hilly region with large differences in altitude (up to 156 m) and deep valley furrows.
This results in a landscape area within the following limits:
- East of Eschlbach ( Bockhorn ) - Kirchasch (Bockhorn) - Neufahrn ( Walpertskirchen ) - Buch am Buchrain - Kronacker ( Hohenlinden ).
- South of Eschlbach - Frauenvils ( Taufkirchen / Vils ) - Gebensbach near Velden (Taufkirchen / Vils) - Seifriedswörth ( Wurmsham ) - Schönberg .
- West of Schönberg - Lohkirchen - Mettenheim.
- North of Kronacker - Straßmeier (Maitenbeth) - Kirchdorf - Aschau am Inn - Mühldorfer Hart .
