The Hornbach is a 17 km long left tributary of the Lech in the Reutte district in Tyrol , Austria . It is fed by mountain streams that come from the Hochvogel , the Urbeleskarspitze and the Marchspitze . It then flows in a north-easterly direction through the Hornbachtal and flows into the Lech at Vorderhornbach . In the Lech Valley, he raised an alluvial cone on which the Vorderhornbach lies.

The catchment area is around 65 km² and extends from 945  m above sea level. A. (Lechtal) up to 2632  m above sea level. A. (Urbeleskarspitze).

The mean discharge at the Vorderhornbach gauge is 3.84 m³ / s, which corresponds to a very high discharge rate of 60 l / s · km². The Hornbach has a similar discharge regime , which is dominated by the snowmelt in the higher areas of the catchment area. The monthly mean of the month of June with the most discharge is, at 8.39 m³ / s, almost seven times higher than that of the month of February with the lowest discharge, with 1.23 m³ / s.

The two small villages of Vorder- and Hinterhornbach and a large mountain range in the Allgäu Alps are named after the brook : the Hornbach chain .
