The Grießbach (also Griesbach ) is a right tributary of the Großache / Kössener Ache / Tiroler Achen in the Kitzbühel district , Tyrol , in the Waidringer Alps or a subgroup of the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge .

Run and landscape

The approximately 5 kilometer long stream rises in the Kirchbergstock , in the Ranggengraben , between the Kirchberg ( 1678  m above sea level ) and the Hochbreitaualm (also Breitaualm , around 1440  m above sea level ).

The middle course is a small wooded valley that divides the Kirchbergstock in a northeast direction. All around are the central peaks of the Kirchbergstock, Kirchberg, Kalkstein ( 1506  m above sea level , after which the group is also known as the limestone group ) and Hochgründberg ( 1495  m above sea level ), and plateau-like alpine pastures. The forest is spruce-fir forest and beech-fir forest, and yield protection forest. Here lead left the Grödinggraben from the Grödingalm (around 1160  m above sea level. A. ) with Gerst trench (impurity guest Graben) from the Alpine region Kalksteinalm ( Bruggwirtsalm 1356  m above sea level. A. ), and the Blaikenbach right of Hochgründberg and the (high) Breitaualm . The valley then narrows to the gorge and forms the Grießbachgraben with a delightful waterfall.

The lower reaches of the Grießbach is the populated Innerwald region in the municipality of Kirchdorf in Tirol , the natural continuation of the Strub valley from the valley watershed in Waidring . Here are the small towns of Schwaben and Völkl (at the Hannesgut golf course ), at the confluence of the Waldbach from the Steinplatte and Waidring- Hausergasse (extension of the Strubtal), and the Hienbach from the Angeralm in limestone ( 1102  m above sea level ). The stream flows north of Erpfendorf , already as a wide valley - as the edge of the (Tyrolean) Sankt Johann basin - at the Wolmutinger Bridge in the Großache. The estuary was rebuilt and renatured 1996-2001 as part of the Kirchdorf flood protection project .

The catchment area of the Grießbach is 41.6 km², the highest point in it is the Steinplatte with 1869  m above sea level. A.

The largest feeder is the Waldbach, which drains a catchment area more than twice as large as the Grießbach at its confluence.
