The Aurach is a river in Upper Austria .

River course

The Aurach rises in the Hochlecken area of the Höllengebirge and flows through the wooded Aurach Valley, which runs through the municipal areas of Altmünster ( Neukirchen , Reindlmühl, Finsterau) and Pinsdorf (Kufhaus). It leaves the Aurach Valley near the village of Pinsdorf and continues through the Alpine foothills via Aurachkirchen until it flows into the Ager between Wankham and Sicking ( Desselbrunn municipality ) .

The Aurach is not to be confused with the Dürren Aurach , which flows almost parallel and flows into the Ager just a few kilometers upstream.

ecology

In the uppermost section, the Aurach runs in the forest, otherwise through grassland used and populated area. It is hard-built in the settlement area. Outside of the settlements there is a wood accompanying the river bank over long stretches, but it is usually very narrow. It consists primarily of ash , willow , black alder , sycamore maple , elder , mountain and white elm and common hazel . At Ritzing, the wooded edge of the bank merges into a larger alluvial forest area .

The Aurach has water quality classes I to II throughout its course .

Surname

The Aurach is first mentioned in 1130 as de Urahe . The name is made up of ahd. Aha (ache) and ûr (o) (aurochs), which means something like "brook where aurochs graze".
