The Hammersbach is a 7 km long right tributary of the Loisach . Together with the Krepbach, which flows into the Hammersbach in the Schmölz district of Grainau , it drains the northwesternmost part of the Wetterstein Mountains , i.e. H. the northern flanks of the Zugspitze and the Waxenstein , as well as the Höllental . The Hammersbach itself arises from the melt waters of the Höllentalferner and flows through the Höllentalkar and then falls as a waterfall over the so-called “board” into the Höllental. There it flows through the Höllentalklamm and Maximiliansklamm. As soon as the Hammersbach leaves the Wetterstein Limestone area and enters the Partnach strata , the valley becomes wider and wooded. In the Grainau district of Hammersbach , the Hammersbach enters the approx. 2 km wide valley floor of the Loisach and finally flows into the Loisach in Schmölz, near the western entrance to Garmisch-Partenkirchen .
The most important and longest tributary of the Hammersbach is the Krepbach , which flows orographically from the left almost 300 m before it flows into the Loisach.
