The Taffa is a left tributary of the Kamp in Lower Austria Waldviertel , the western Horner pool and the adjoining west wild drained. The name is derived from the Slavic Dabina , which means something like "Schluchtbach". The Taffa flows into the Kamp in Rosenburg .
Source rivers
The Große Taffa rises in the municipality of Irnfritz southwest of the village of Nondorf an der Wild at an altitude of approx. 520 m above sea level. A. and, until it merges with the Kleine Taffa, has a flow distance of 13 km northeast of Frauenhofen .
The Kleine Taffa rises in the municipality of Brunn an der Wild south of the village of Wildhäuser at an altitude of approx. 570 m above sea level. A. After a stretch of flow of 19 kilometers, it joins the Great Taffa.
The Taffabach rises in the eastern part of the Allentsteig military training area (political district Zwettl ) at an altitude of approx. 580 m above sea level. A. and flows into the Kleine Taffa after 13 kilometers northwest of the village of Mahrersdorf .
Curiously, the Great Taffa is by far the shortest source river. The longest flow path is via the Taffabach, which when it joins the Kleine Taffa has a stretch of flow around one kilometer longer than the Kleine Taffa.
course
After the union of Big and Small Taffa, the river is only called Taffa. It first flows through the district capital Horn . Below Horn, the Taffa flows through a valley and flows into the Kamp in the local area of Rosenburg.
Flow
There are flow measuring points in two places. At the first at Frauenhofen shortly after the confluence of the Kleiner and Großer Taffa the mean flow rate is 0.4 m³ / s, in Rosenburg before the confluence with the Kamp it is 0.6 m³ / s.
During the flood on August 7, 2002, the highest flow rate measured in Frauenhofen so far (as of June 2007) was 82.8 m³ / s.
Economical meaning
There used to be numerous mills along the Taffa, but today they are either dilapidated or whose mill streams operate electricity generators for private households. The Raschmühle was the last trading mill to be closed in 1980.
ecology
Above Horn, the Taffa and its source rivers were heavily regulated and straightened from the point of entry into the Horner Basin. Renaturation measures have so far been hesitant. The lower course of the Great Taffa was designed in a natural way, including flow-calmed areas, thus significantly increasing the structural diversity.
