The Furggabach is a 3.5 kilometer long stream in the Albula river system in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . It is one of the two source brooks of the Dischma brook and unites with it at about 2000  m above sea level. M. at Dürrboden .

geography

The Furggabach arises from several source streams above the Furggas lake at about 2600  m above sea level. M. In the Furggasee the water of the spring streams collects at 2509  m above sea level. M. This lake is located at the foot of Radüner Rothorn and Piz Radönt not far from Fuorcla Grialetsch , which is a watershed to the Inn . From the Furggasee the stream flows steeply down into the Dischma valley towards Dürrboden. At about 2200  m above sea level. M. spring brooks flow to it from the foot of Piz Grialetsch . Shortly before the houses in Dürrboden, it connects with the Dischmabach, which is about the same size. Since the Dischmabach is part of the main hydrological line of the Alpine Rhine and the two source streams are equal, this also applies to the Furggabach.
