geography

course

Wilhelmskirch (left) with the Ravensburg transmitter

The Gillenbach rises in a reed near Wilhelmskirch in the municipality of Horgenzell at an altitude of about 576 m. From there it flows in an easterly direction past Hinterweißried, Eschau, Aich and Ganter to almost the outskirts of the western town of Ravensburg. Then it crosses under the federal highway 33 and bends there on the southern course through the Hotterloch gorge. Finally it crosses Oberzell and shortly afterwards flows into the Schussen from the right.

The Hotterlochtobel is also protected according to § 30a LWaldG BW. The natural area is a pre-alpine hill and moorland.

Renaturation

During the construction of the new Schussen Bridge near Oberzell, the mouth of the Gillenbach was renatured in 2008.

Fish death
