Itzlinger Au
The Itzlinger Au is the small remaining remnant of a once mighty alluvial forest belt in the north of the Austrian city of Salzburg on the left bank of the Salzach in the cadastral community of Itzling . The 12.5 hectare area no longer belongs to the district of the same name, but is located in Liefering north of the recreation area at the so-called Glanspitz, the area where the Glan flows into the Salzach, as well as the adjacent Salzburg Exhibition Center and Salzburgarena . In the north, the Itzlinger Au is bounded by the route of the Westautobahn (A1) .
The southernmost part of the originally long alluvial forest belt was once called Lehenau (still located in the Lehen district ), to which first the Itzlinger Au, then the Lieferinger Au and the Bonau, then the Bergheimer Au and the Herrnau and finally the Totenkopfau in the area of the Saalach estuary connected . Due to its location in what is now the Liefering district, the Itzlinger Au is now also known as Lieferinger Au and is not identical to the former wetland area of this name.
The Itzlinger Au was placed under protection as a protected part of the landscape in 1999 because of its rare black poplars and the abundance of old and dead wood in the Au . A rare wood-dwelling beetle that is protected in accordance with the EU's Habitats Directive , the scarlet beetle ( Cucujus cinnaberinus ) occurs here. The Au is also part of the habitat of the gray woodpecker (protected according to the EU's Birds Directive).
