The Hammerbach (formerly also: Stahlgraben ) is a left tributary of the Ybbs .
It rises near the ridge line of the Gamsstein north-east of the highest peak Hochkogel on the Niederscheibenberg and initially flows northwest to the valley. At the forester's lodge Sandgraben, it bends west on the valley floor now known as the Sandgraben . After recording the left Seeaubach ( ⊙ ) it is called Hammerbach and from then on it moves northwards to the end. In Dornleiten it is reinforced from the left by the Klausbach ( ⊙ ) . At Hollenstein it joins the Ybbs from the left .
The Hammerbach was formerly also known as the Stahlgraben , which, like the current name, indicates its former economic use; Pig iron was delivered via the Mendlingtal , the upper part of which joins roughly in the valley line of the sand ditch in the east with no great height difference, and processed in the Hollensteiner hammer mills.
