Catchment area

The Fronbach drains an area of ​​about 1.1 km² westwards to the Fränkbach , in which the vast majority of the settlement area of ​​Roden is located. A lower maximum area is at its southeast corner on the summit of the Ackerenberg ( 291  m above sea level ), but the largest is on the upper southern slope of the Weichselberg on the strongly protruding northeast corner at a height of 340  m above sea level. NN . Behind the northwestern watershed, the receiving Fränkbach runs southwards, beyond the east the Klimbach runs southwards to the Karbach in Markt Karbach . On the south side of the catchment area, a smaller watercourse opposite them, probably called the Hölzlesgraben , flows into the Karbach between Klimbach and Fränkbach at the Karbacher Fuchsenmühle.

All competitors, like the Frongraben itself, only have intermittent water.
