The Ranna Lake

The Ranna Lake

The Ranna is a northern tributary of the Danube in Lower Bavaria and in the upper Mühlviertel , Upper Austria . In the lower reaches it forms the largely untouched Rannatal , a nature reserve and a European protected area.

Run and landscape

The Ranna rises in the Bavarian Forest , southeast of Sonnen , and then flows southwards throughout. To the northeast of Obernzell , the river passes the village of Wildenranna .

The river crosses the border with Austria in an artificially created bathing lake , the Rannasee , with an area of 20 hectares the largest bathing lake in the Bavarian Forest , with bathing bays, pedal boat rental and a 120 meter long water slide .

Then it flows through the village of Oberkappel , where the Osterbach flows into the Ranna.

Immediately after Oberkappel begins the Rannastausee , popularly known as the mouse hole . The lake was created in 1954 by the construction of the Rannatalsperre of the Ranna pumped storage power plant and is about 3.5 km long. It is also a popular fishing water. A natural hiking trail runs around the lake , with six Kneipp stations in the upper area. A fitness course was created in the lower area. In the middle, the Konzingersteg connects the two banks.

After the Rannatalsperre, the Ranna forms a deeply furrowed gorge, the Rannatal nature reserve. Altenhof Castle is located high above the Ranna Valley to the east , followed by the Falkenstein castle ruins . To the west of the Ranna valley between Ranna and the Danube follows the Rannariedl Castle .

At the end of the valley near Niederranna , the Ranna finally flows into the Danube.

Rannatal nature reserve

The area south of the reservoir has been designated as a nature reserve Rannatal ( n108   ) with 140.34 hectares since 2002 , and - not yet implemented by state law - as a Natura 2000 area of ​​the same name ( Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive , FFH, AT3125000 / nn25 ) , with 228.00 hectares. The nature reserve also intervenes somewhat in the large European nature reserve Upper Danube and Aschachtal (AT3122000 / eu05_1), the FFH area extends this to the north. ! 548.5000005513.7777785 ! 548.5000005513.7777785

The forests and rocky sites of the Ranna Valley are home to a large number of lesser-known species, such as the green lizard , the fire salamander or the Aesculapian snake . Due to the inaccessibility and the special climate in the deep Kerbtal , an unusually large variety of mosses and lichens can be found. As a further special feature, there are several block heaps in the Rannatal , which also represent an important habitat.
