Dürrachklamm

The Dürrach , formerly Dürach , is originally a 17.5 km long right tributary of the Isar in Tyrol (9 river kilometers) and Bavaria.

Waters and landscape

The catchment area of ​​the Dürrach lies in the Vorkarwendel and includes all valleys enclosed by its ridges. It rises in a cirque between the Hohen Gans ( 1950  m above sea level ) in the east and the Schleimsjoch ( 1809  m above sea level ) in the west, about 1650  m above sea level. The seven kilometer long upper course is called the Tannauerbach and is one of several spring streams of roughly the same length and strength in a valley fan in the southern part of the Vorkarwendel, which has several peaks over 2000  m above sea level.

Geologically, the valley fan belongs to an inclination , the Karwendelmulde . Plumsbach and Tiefenbach still flow into the upper reaches . At the lowest point of the fan, it joins the Eiskönigbach , which in turn has the Baumgartenbach as an equally strong tributary. The center and exit valley of the valley fan are called the Bächental . At the transition from this brook valley to the lower Dürr valley, the Kesselbach flows from the east , and the river crosses the border to Germany. In Bavaria the Kotzenbach flow from the left and the Krottenbach just before the Sylvensteinspeicher in a gorge . The bottom two kilometers of the river sank in the Sylvensteinsee at the end of the 1950s, so that the Dürrach is now just under 15 km long. Before that, the Dürrach flowed into the Isar below the old Fall . In the Austrian section, the Dürrach has water quality class  I (as of 2005).

Technical interventions

Immediately below the junction there is a dam with a hydroelectric power station, from which a large part of the water is diverted towards Achensee , so that the natural course of the river here lives up to its name. The drainage into the Achensee reduces the hydrologically effective catchment area by 62.4 km². In 2010, a large bed load dam was built on the Bavarian part of the Dürrach in order to reduce the sediment entry into the Sylvenstein reservoir.

There is an oil shale mine on the eastern flank of the Rether Horn above the Tiefenbach .
