Mattigtal, Natural region in Braunau District, Austria
The Mattigtal is a natural region in Braunau District characterized by gently rolling terrain and pastoral farmland in upper Austria. The landscape is shaped by the Mattig River, which winds through the valley and connects several small communities together.
The Mattig River was first documented in 796 and carries a name of Celtic origin. The river's name describes its nature as a gently flowing waterway through this region.
The region contains several municipalities including Burgkirchen, Helpfau-Uttendorf, Jeging, Mattighofen, Mauerkirchen, Munderfing, and Pfaffstätt within its boundaries.
The region is made up of small villages that can be easily explored by following the river or using back roads. Access is available year-round, with spring and autumn being particularly suitable seasons for exploration.
Along the river grow black alder and ash trees that provide a natural habitat for fish such as barbel and grayling. These riverside areas are important to the local ecosystem and make the river a living space with natural characteristics.
