The Wörthbach (from the source to Eggenthal also called Friesenrieder Bach ) is a left tributary of the Flossach . About this and the Mindel it is an indirect right tributary of the Danube in Bavaria . Its noticeably larger right upper course is the Friesenried Bach .

Friesenrieder Bach

The source of the main stream upper course Friesenrieder Bach is located in the Hollenwald a good kilometer east of the village Wenglingen in the municipality of Aitrang in the Ostallgäu district . From there, the small stream runs westwards and swings in the open corridor around Wenglingen on an approximately north-northwest course. It flows through the forest tip around the Königsberger Moos and the villages of Salenwang and Friesenried. In Blöcktach it unites with the Mühlbach coming from the southwest to form the Wörthbach.

The stream section called Friesenrieder Bach is 8.6 km long and drains an area of ​​36.2 km², while the left upper reaches of Mühlbach is 5.7 km long and has a catchment area of ​​only 7.5 km².

Course of the Wörthbach

The Wörthbach then runs north to Eggenthal, where the more important left tributary Röhrwanger Mühlbach joins from the south-southwest, after which the Wörthbach continues for a long time in its direction and crosses Baisweil. In the following town of Bad Wörishofen he switched back to the northern course. After he and Under the Ober- almost lying on the left bank Rammingen has passed through, it flows from the left in the here only 3.3 km long Flossach whose catchment area includes km² above only 26.6, while that of the Wörth Bach km² 134 large and together with the Friesenrieder Bach it reaches a length of 34.5 km.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ a b c d Length and catchment area according to: List of brook and river areas in Bavaria - Danube river area from source to Lech, page 38 of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment, as of 2016 (PDF; 2.3 MB)
  2. ↑ Contrary to the official name on the left upper and lower reaches of the Riedbach, the Riedbach is perhaps called Osterbach after the presumably then also called right upper course, which is the larger upper course in terms of length and catchment area.
