The Kapuzinerinsel , formerly also known as Mittergries or Köhlerinsel , is a small wooded river island in the Inn near the Upper Bavarian town of Wasserburg am Inn with an area of around 1.5 hectares .
It is located just behind the Wasserburg run-of- river power plant and, when the water level is low , can be reached by foot through an artificially created guide dam that directs the water from the power plant back into the river. On the Kapuzinerinsel there is a small hardwood forest and on the side facing away from the river there is a sandy beach.
The name of the island is reminiscent of the monks of the Capuchin order who once resided here , who had to leave the Capuchin monastery and the city in the course of the Bavarian secularization .
Even when the water level is low, water always flows through the southern side of the island thanks to culverts in the dam and forms a network of small ponds and rivulets , the so-called " capuchin paints ". This area is equipped with many quiet zones and was artificially redesigned in 2010 to ensure the natural reproduction of grayling , an endangered species of fish. Since then, the gravel bottom of the Inn has been loosened every spring by an excavator, and a fish ladder is also planned over the barrage.
For years there have been plans to build a second Inn bridge to Wasserburg's old town especially for cyclists and pedestrians across the Capuchin Island. The project met with a great deal of approval in the city council, but opponents also spoke up, as they said the money would be better invested in local public transport.
