agree  Thomas Pfann: Der berühmte Donaudurchbruch wird auf Englisch auch „Danube gorge“ genannt, aber den Bilder nach zu urteilen, passt das bei diesem Inndurchbruch weniger. „Gap“/„water gap“ passt wohl am besten.

  -> Danke, Thomas! Ja den "Danube gorge" habe ich auch gesehen, aber mich auch dagegen entschieden, weil es nicht passt.
neutral  philgoddard: I don't think people will understand this.

  -> Thanks, Phil! You might be right. But it also seems to have been used in the States: Delaware Water Gap.

the Inn narrows


Explanation:
after some thought, 'narrows' seems nicer than strait, since we are not completely sure whether it is like a canal or more a bay, but is definitely a narrower part of the river.

Reference: Durchbruch = a geological river feature

Reference information:
I think Ramey's first suggestion (as picked up by Mack) is spot on: Vornbacher Enge (Vornbach narrow). Take a look at Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gap
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durchbruchstal

I can't tell whether it's actually part of the reserve or just close by (north of Schäring).

Example sentence(s):
  • ... including the Vornbach narrows
