Geography
Kematen is located in the Inn Valley, at the confluence of the Melach River (from the Sellrain Valley) into the River Inn. The municipal area lies mainly on the alluvial cone of the Melach south of the Inn. The Inn and Melach rivers form the northern and western boundaries of the municipality. Here lies the geographical (less the cultural) border between the Upper Inn Valley and the Lower Inn Valley.
