course

Oh

The Kanzach arises under the name Ach north of the Federsee , a little west of the Uttenweiler place Ahlen, in the northern tip of the boggy channel of the Federsee basin, at about 595  m above sea level. NHN . This runs southwards through the protected Nördliche Federseeried , past Seekirch on the eastern and Alleshausen on the western ascent from the hollow which widens after these places, now in the Federsee nature reserve. At the width of Tiefenbach , the Ach flows after approx. 4.7 km of slightly winding course to 578.5  m above sea level. NHN enters the Federsee, which is elongated from northeast to southwest and lies northeast of Bad Buchau . The Ach has an average slope of only about 1.4 ‰.

Kanzach

The water then leaves the lake as a Kanzach southwest in an anthropogenic ditch. On this section a weir crosses the course, thanks to which the groundwater level of the moor can be controlled, and the Mühlbach coming from Reichenbach flows through Buchau from about the south. The Kanzach runs about three kilometers in a straight line to the southwest.

At the Vollochhof it bends on the L 275 , now following its course, to the northwest, now in the area of ​​the municipality of Kanzach , whose eponymous village it runs through downwards. At the entrance to the village, the Bierstetter Bach flows from the south . From there on, the Kanzach moves in a more natural course with small changes of direction to the mouth on its longest stretch of course, slightly north-northwest. The next place on the bank is Dürmentingen , whose district Burgau accommodates the Miesach , which comes from the east-southeast , which also has opposite source streams from north and south. After the Hailtingen district of the municipality, which was then crossed , the Kanzach changes to the municipality of Unlingen , where it passes through the villages of Göffingen and then Unlingen, where the federal road 311 crosses the river. Down the river , the Ulm – Sigmaringen railway already crosses the river in the Danube floodplain .

Finally, the Kanzach changes over to the urban area of Riedlingen , passes the Fischermühle and then flows across from the village of Daugendorf from the right and at about 521  m above sea level. NHN into the Danube running northwards here .

The Kanzach is a total of 25.8 kilometers long, 19.0 kilometers of which are accounted for by the section under its main name from the outflow from the south-western tip of the Federsee, from where it rises to around 58 meters with a mean bed gradient of 3.0 ‰ to the mouth Loses height.
