The Dießbach is a 9 km long brook in the municipality of Weißbach bei Lofer in the province of Salzburg . It rises on the east side of the Kemantenschneid between the Großer Palfelhorn and Seehorn in the Berchtesgaden Alps .

Dießbach above the reservoir

The Dießbach flows around the Seehorn on the east side over the Hochwies and then turns west from the Mitterkaseralm.

In the area of ​​the Dießbachalm, south of the Seehornsee , the Dießbach was dammed into the Dießbach reservoir from 1961 . The Alm, which was mentioned in a document as early as 1386, was completely flooded along with its Kaser .

The pressure pipeline of the Dießbach storage power plant - one of the steepest in Europe - runs in a southerly direction under the Rauchkopf and over the shock wall down to the Saalach . Behind the dam, the Dießbach flows a bit to the west in the direction of the Kallbrunnalm and then south to the Saalach, where it joins on the right-hand side in Diesbach after crossing under the Pinzgauer Straße .
