The Kienbach is an approximately 11 km long tributary of the Ammersee in Upper Bavaria .
course
The Kienbach arises in the south of the Andechs community, west of the Machtlfing district and north of the Kerschlacher forest. It flows in a north-westerly direction and crosses the Andechs district of Erling . From here it flows further north through the partly gorge-like Kiental and reaches Herrsching am Ammersee . There it turns to the west and flows into the Herrschinger Bucht of the Ammersee.
Character and environment
The Kienbach drains an area in the south of the municipality of Andechs, which lies between the Worm Ice Age moraines of two retreat stages of the Isar-Loisach Glacier , north of the 760 m high Berndorfer Buchet . This area is characterized by a large number of drumlins , between which there are wide meadows and smaller, partly wooded wetlands, including the Mesnerbichl nature reserve . The upper reaches of the Kienbach and its tributaries are mostly straightened meadow and moss ditches.
A distinctive section of the Kienbach north of Erling is the Kiental, which is up to 70 m deep and about 3.5 km long. Here, the Nagelfluhfelsen from the Minde Ice Age and, in the lower area, also pre- Ice Age marl are exposed . The Kiental is a popular hiking route. In particular, one can get through the Kiental from the Herrsching S-Bahn station to the nearby Andechs Monastery , a well-known excursion destination in the southwest of Munich .
Within Herrsching, which lies largely on an alluvial cone of the Kienbach, the Kienbach flows in a walled channel to the west until it reaches the spa gardens and flows into the Ammersee.
Geotope
The Kiental has been designated as a valuable geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (geotope number: 188R013).
