The Laxbach flows into the Neckar

The Laxbach , also known as the Lachsbach , is the short, shared lower course of two long Odenwald brooks, which flows into the Neckar from the right and north at Hirschhorn in the Bergstrasse district of Hesse .

geography

course

The Laxbach arises in the Hirschhorn area from the confluence of the right Ulfenbach and the left Finkenbach and flows into the Neckar after just over 700 m. Sections of the Ulfenbach lower course are sometimes given his name or, conversely, his own course with that of one of the upper courses.

Catchment area

The catchment area covers 170.0 km² and , in terms of natural space , lies in the Odenwald , largely in its sub-area Sandstone-Odenwald , last and especially with the last sub - catchment area below the confluence of the upper reaches in the lower Odenwald-Neckar area .

Tributaries

  • Ulfenbach , right and north-north-western upper reaches, 29.3 km and 95.8 km².
  • Finkenbach , left and northern upper reaches, 21.6 km and 73.9 km².
