The Gerlosbach , rarely also Gerlos Ache , is a 33.5 km long right tributary of the Ziller in the Austrian states of Salzburg and Tyrol .
River course
The Gerlosbach rises from the Wildgerloskees below the Reichenspitze in the Zillertal Alps in the municipality of Krimml . It initially flows north through the Wildgerlostal and after a few kilometers from the right it takes on the inflow from the Lower Gerlossee . After around twelve kilometers, it fills the Durlaßboden reservoir , through which the state border between Salzburg and Tyrol runs. The valley makes a bend here and continues as Gerlostal to the west. The Gerlosbach flows through Gerlos , takes the Schönach and then the Wimmerbach from the left, and then flows through the Gmünd reservoir . Below it runs in a narrow gorge until it reaches the valley floor of the Zillertal near Zell am Ziller , where it flows north on the eastern edge of the valley. Here, the processed water from the Gerlos power station is introduced just before the brook near Rohr ( Rohrberg municipality ) flows into the Ziller.
Catchment area
The natural catchment area of the Gerlosbach covers around 200 km². It will be increased by 30.7 km² by feed lines from the catchment area of the Salzach into the Durlaßboden reservoir; by discharges from Schönach and Wimmerbach into the Zillergründl reservoir , it will be reduced by 10 km² so that the effective catchment area is around 220 km².
The catchment area extends from 566 m above sea level. A. up to 3303 m above sea level A. (Reichenspitze). Around 5 km² (2.5%) of the catchment area are glaciated (as of 1988).
environment
The upper course in the Wildgerlostal lies in the Hohe Tauern National Park and is largely natural. In the local area from Gerlos to the Gmünd reservoir, the banks of the brook are continuously built, otherwise selectively. The Gerlosbach has water quality classes I-II throughout .
Trivia
In Vienna, Gerlosplatz has been named after the Gerlosbach since 1953 .
