The Afer Bach (also Sade or Sadebach , Italian rio di Eores ) is a brook that flows into the Eisack from the left in the South Tyrolean Dolomites .

geography

The Aferer Bach rises at around 1900  m altitude on the Kofeljoch (also called Halsl ) and drains the Aferer Valley flowing westwards . In its approximately 13.8 km long course it takes up various source streams, which flow to it mainly on the north side from the Plose , to a lesser extent on the south side from the Aferer Geisler . At Albeins , the only place through which the Afer Bach flows, it reaches the Eisack Valley , where it flows into the Eisack at an altitude of 539  m .

Surname

Sade or Sadebach is the older name of the water and is already documented in 1547. In Atlas Tyrolensis , first published in 1774 , the brook appears as Afferer Ba.
