Thus the water flows north to the North Sea , south to the Black Sea . This is the southernmost point of the European main watershed in the Bohemian Massif, it runs northwest to the Fichtelgebirge , and only on the Swabian Alb near Augsburg it is then again south, and runs towards Gibraltar , northeast it runs to the Glatzer Schneeberg , and then to Russia where it no longer comes south.

Wind energy priority zone Hirschbach in the Mühlkreis

In 2011, the Upper Austria wind master plan identified the Hirschbach im Mühlkreis as a priority zone . Here an expansion of wind energy appears economically, ecologically and in terms of landscape protection justifiable. The zone encompasses the ridge northwards to an extent of approximately 1 kilometer.

There is also the Schenkenfelden wind farm to the northwest, and the Hofreither Berg to the southeast is also designated ( Ottenschlag priority zone in the north of the Mühlkreis ).
