geography
course
Three source rivers of the Kreck, the Gompert houses, Gellers houses and West houses Kreck unite at Gellershausen . The new Kreckarm formed in this way unites a little later north of Heldburg with the Streufdorfer Kreck. The now united Kreck flows close to the old town of Heldburg past to the southernmost border of Thuringia and crosses it a little below Lindenau . At Autenhausen in Bavaria the right tributary Helling, also coming from the Heldburger Land, flows into the Kreck. The course of the river ends only a little later and the Kreck flows into the Rodach at Gemünda .

history
On a map of the Heldburger Land from 1565/66 the river Crackow is mentioned. Up until the end of the 19th century, the Kreck was a productive crayfish river, and some residents earned their income from fishing for crabs. The cancer plague introduced from America around 1870 marked the end of the cancer population. Today river mussels and rainbow trout live in the Kreck again.
