The Hainbach is a brook in Vienna and Lower Austria . It is a left tributary of the Mauerbach .

course

The Hainbach has a length of 4090 m with a height difference of 209 m. Its catchment area is 3.8 km².

The stream runs in a north-south direction through the Hadersdorf part of Vienna's 14th district of Penzing . It rises north of the Sophienalpe and passes the Hinterhainbach settlement . It flows along the Sophienalpenstrasse, which it crosses several times. Finally, it runs along the border with the Lower Austrian market town of Mauerbach , before flowing into the Mauerbach on the left at the Vorderhainbach settlement .

At the Hainbach there is a low risk of flooding. In the event of a flood of the century , the infrastructure and the resident population are affected to a lesser extent.

ecology

Vegetation along the Hainbach

The brook serves as spawning water for common frogs ( Rana temporaria ) and agile frogs ( Rana dalmatina ). In addition, striped swell maids ( Cordulegaster bidentata ) were detected. The rare stone crab ( Austropotamobius torrentium ) was resettled in the Hainbach in 1991. After the initial success of the project, further resettlements followed in the Vienna Woods Streams Eckbach , Steinbach and Halterbach . In the Hainbach, the population decreased again later, probably because of cancer plague .

The wood on the banks is characterized by fine and soft wood . Two problematic invasive plants on the Hainbach are the Japanese knotweed and the glandular balsam .

The Hainbach is crossed by the following bridges, lined up in the direction of flow:

Hohe Hainbachbrücke: The 4 m long and 12 m wide stone road bridge of the Sofienalpenstraße was built in 1978.
Stifterbrücke: The 6 m long and 9 m wide reinforced concrete road bridge on Sofienalpenstraße was built in 1978.
Friendship footbridge: The 6 m long and 2 m wide pedestrian bridge was built in 1960.
Upper children's home footbridge: The 7 m long and 2 m wide pedestrian bridge was built in 1960.
Unterer Kinderheimsteg: The 10 m long and 2 m wide pedestrian bridge was built in 1960.
