List of bodies of water in the Mindel river system

The first part of the list of bodies of water in the Mindel river system contains a listing of the tributaries and streams of the Mindel from the mouth towards the source . In addition, the list contains the branches of the river that split off from the main river and reunite with it further downstream. If known, the river code number , the mouth location, with the respective mouth height (in meters above sea level), the location of the source of the flowing water, the length of the river, the size of the catchment area and the difference in height from the source to the mouth are indicated after the river name .

In the second part of this list, lakes located in the area of ​​the river system are listed - in the case of the Mindel river system, mainly quarry ponds .

Much of the information on this page comes from the websites of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment and the Bayernviewer of the Bavarian Surveying Administration.
