The Kienbach is a four and a half kilometer long stream in the district of Straubing-Bogen in Lower Bavaria , which flows into the Kinsach from the right and northwest in the district of Au in the municipality of Ascha .

geography

course

The headwaters of the Kienbach are located in the Falkenfels area at around 480  m above sea level. NHN . From here the stream runs south-east throughout with only small changes in direction. After about 0.7 km past the outskirts of Falkenfels and through the corridor, it comes to about 450  m above sea level. NHN enters its Kerbtal section in the Schönbirket forest , which fills the valley with two interruptions; In one of the two clearings, just above the left foot of the slope, there is a scattered settlement yard of Willersberg , of which three further settlement groups stand on the left slope of the valley, which is already widening at the top; at the beginning of the second, the longest of several forest tributaries flows with a little over half a kilometer from sources mainly on the right slope. To the south of Kienberg , which stands in the open corridor that descends as far as the brook, at medium altitude on the left mountain spur, the brook occurs at a little over 340  m above sea level. NHN again briefly out of the forest, then flat and in a wider hollow between Schwarzholz left and Spitalwald right to the federal road 20 , which he at the other end of the forest to a little over 335  m above sea level. Below NHN . Then it passes the district of Au of the municipality of Ascha on the lower and flat left estuary and finally flows out at about 332  m above sea level. NHN from the right and northwest into a right and parallel branch of the Kinsach , which flows back into it around 0.3 km further below.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Kienbach (3.3 km²) has roughly the contour of a narrow wedge that ends towards the south-east and ends at a point, through which the creek flows almost exactly on the central axis. The western watershed runs roughly from the southeastern boundary of the Falkenfelser residential area Oberhof to about 500  m above sea level. NHN over the wooded summit of the Kühberg to a southeastern spur of the Steinberg at about 522  m above sea level. NHN winding northwards through Falkenfels; it separates from the catchment area of ​​the Kößnach in the west. The adjoining northeastern watershed slopes steadily to the southeast and separates from the drainage area first the Sockabach , which flows further up into the Kinsach , then briefly the small re- ditch and finally even smaller tributaries of the same. The southwestern watershed rises again from the mouth to Oberhof and separates first into the Spitalwald from a short inlet to the Kinsach near Gschwendt , then further uphill from the competitor Steinachbach, which flows further down into the Kinsach, and its left tributaries.
