Science - Geography / rivers | | German term or phrase: Heißländen | "Auwälder sind hier noch ebenso zu finden, wie die „Heißländen“, trockene Sand - und Schotterbänke mit vielen seltenen Orchideenarten. "
talking about national parks in Austria.
I figure it has something to do with desert or savanna-like areas that build up next to a river, but is there a specific term? |

layer on substrates of sand and pebbles, and their African savannah-like vegetation.
