The box on the right side of the article states Basin-Countries: Norway. This seems implausible to me. I'm not familiar with the exact meening of the term basin-country, but Lake Starnberg neither drains the country of Norway nor discharges there. Dispite lying on the same continent, I see little geographic relation between Lake Starnberg and Norway.

According to my assessment as a local, Lake Starnberg only drains a small area located completely within Germany. Its outlet water flows through the rivers Würm, Amper, Isar, Danube, and finally flows into the Black Sea at the Danube Delta located between Romania and Ukraine. (This can be tracked through the corresponding articles.)

Can someone please confirm that, and change the value of Basin-Countries accordingly?
