The Loisbach is a 15 km long, left tributary of the Pfreimd in the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria .

course

The Loisbach is formed from the union of numerous brooks that arise on the northern slopes of the Stückberg and the Stangenberg. This entire system of brooks, including the Ödbach and Thalerwiesbach and their tributaries, is summarized in the register of brook and river areas in Bavaria, Naab river area, as of 2012, under the area code 1448 and the area name Loisbach - Mühlbach - Ödbach. The actual Loisbach does not begin until the Thalerwiesbach joins the Ödbach at Heckermühle .

Source streams of the Loisbach

Numerous springs arise on the northern slopes of the Stückberg and the Stangenberg. They form many streams that seep away, reappear, branch out in many ways and reunite. The overview is made more difficult by the fact that on the one hand these brooks change their names several times over a short course and on the other hand different brooks have the same name and are viewed as the same brook. All these brooks flow northwards in the direction of Eslarn from the slopes and merge to the Heckermühle to the Loisbach.

Ödbach

One of the source streams of the Loisbach is the Ödbach. The Ödbach in turn is formed from two streams, both of which are known as Ödbach. The western of these rises on the north and north-east slopes of the Stangenberg west of Oberlangau . The eastern one rises on the northern slopes of the Stückberg. He picks up the Steinbach from the right. Both arms unite north of Premhof and immediately split again into a western and an eastern arm. The western arm takes the Thalerwiesbach from the left at Heckermühle and is called Loisbach from here on. 200 m further on, the eastern arm of the Ödbach flows into the Loisbach from the right.

Thalerwiesbach

The Thalerwiesbach rises from the iron fountain on the northern slope of the Stangenberg. It is called Eisenbrunnenbach for the first 500 m after the source, then Wolfslohbach for another kilometer and finally the last kilometer to its confluence with the Ödbach Thalerwiesbach.

Loisbach from Heckermühle

At the Heckermühle, the waters of the Thalerwiesbach and the Ödbach are dammed up to form a small pond from which they continue to flow as the Loisbach to the northeast. After 580 m the Lindauer Bach flows into the Stockwiese from the right. The Loisbach makes a sharp bend to the north and after another 800 m it reaches Eslarn. It flows through Eslarn from south to north, first through the Eslarner Stadtpark, then parallel to the Bockl cycle path to the north-western outskirts of Eslarn. Here he turns west. After 500 m it takes up the Grellenbach from the left, turns for 500 m to the northeast and then resumes its northwest direction. 3.7 km after the mouth of the Grellenbach, the Eiterbach also flows from the left. After a further 12.66 km, the Loisbach flows into the Pfreimd at Hechtlmühle .
