The Dambach is a 17 km long right tributary of the Teichl in Upper Austria .

Run and landscape

The Dambach rises on the eastern slope of the Schwarzkogel in the Ennstal Alps at an altitude of around 1250  m above sea level. A. It first drops steeply and then runs through the Rosenau, a wide, partly swampy trough valley formed by the Ice Age to the north or northwest. At the end of the valley of the roll-call is Dambach origin to 968  meters above sea level. A. ( ). The middle Dambachtal is a wooded narrow valley with overgrown southern slopes and flattening northern slopes. The Dambach then flows through the relatively flat Windischgarstner Basin and flows into the Teichl on its western edge.

Catchment area and water supply

The Dambach drains a catchment area of 78.8 km². The highest point in the catchment area is the Great Pyhrgas at 2244  m above sea level. A.

The mean discharge at the Windischgarsten gauge, 3.2 km above the mouth, is 1.90 m³ / s, which corresponds to a discharge rate of 28.4 l / s · km². The Dambach has a nivo-pluvial discharge regime . The mean runoff in the month with the most water in April, at 3.08 m³ / s, is twice as high as in the month with the least water in October with 1.35 m³ / s.

ecology

In the upper reaches of the Dambach is relatively natural, but in the agriculturally intensively used Windischgarstner Basin and in the local areas of Rosenau and Windischgarsten it is strictly regulated and straightened. At the lower Dambach, the river continuum is also interrupted by bed sills and a larger crash structure . The stream has water quality classes I-II throughout . The main species of fish are grayling , rainbow trout and brown trout .

use

In 1622 the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey granted the scythe blacksmith Wolfgang Moser permission to build a scythe factory on Dambach. This was in operation until 1904.
