The Kankerbach (also Kanker , in the upper reaches of Köchelgraben ) is an 11 km long right tributary of the Partnach . The stream rises as Köchelgraben near the Kranzbach Castle . The name Kankerbach is given to the water after the confluence of the Aschenmoosbach. The Kankerbach then flows from east to west in a valley between the Wamberg saddle in the south and the Estergebirge in the north and takes on numerous other small streams and ditches (Gütlegraben, Altenbach, Ellergraben, Wamberger Graben). It then bends to the northwest and flows through parts of Partenkirchen, where the Faukenbach flows into it. The Kankerbach flows into the Partnach within the local area of ​​Partenkirchen.

During the Whitsun floods in 1999 , the Kankerbach flooded large parts of Partenkirchen, as the narrow, partially overbuilt channel could no longer absorb the water masses. The damage amounted to around 25 million euros and there was one fatality. This event subsequently led to flood protection measures. The restraint area near the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic was expanded and a mostly underground bridge to the Partnach was created from there. In addition, the channel in the local area of ​​Partenkirchen was expanded and redesigned.
