Confluence of the Weißer (left) and Roter Traun (right)

The Traun is created by the confluence of the Weißer and Roter Traun a little north of Siegsdorf . The two source rivers have their name affixes according to the color of their water; The longer White Traun, which comes from the south, drains a wooded region and therefore has very clear and light water, whereas the Red Traun with its reddish to brownish water runs through a moorland near Inzell in the southeast .

The river, only called the Traun after unification, runs from Siegsdorf in a north to north-north-west direction through the district of Traunstein. He passes Traundorf, which belongs to Siegsdorf, and then passes through the district town of Traunstein . The municipality of Nussdorf in Chiemgau associated Aiging is again only on the left bank, the city Traunreut belonging Traunwalchen contrast, as well as the further down following the city itself and its place Stein an der Traun then on the right. At Altenmarkt an der Alz , located on the wedge of land between the two rivers, the Traun finally flows into the Alz from the right 28.8 km below its confluence and 54.5 km below the farthest source of the Weißen-Traun-Oberlaufs Fischbach .
