Rottal-Inn

Rottal-Inn is a district in southeastern Bavaria that covers a substantial area and borders Austria's Upper Austria region. It is governed from Pfarrkirchen, where the administrative center is located.

The district was created in 1972 when Pfarrkirchen and Eggenfelden districts merged, incorporating territory from neighboring administrative regions. This consolidation established the foundation for the area's modern governance.

The district emblem features a panther linked to Eggenfelden's past and a horse connected to Pfarrkirchen's heritage. These symbols reflect the different regional origins that shaped this territory.

The area is accessible through various routes and shaped by two important waterways that flow through the landscape. Visitors should expect a rural setting with a traditional, agricultural character throughout the region.

The Inn River forms the border with Austria and is one of the area's most distinctive geographical features. The Rott flows through the center, contributing to the varied river landscape that characterizes the district.
