The Moosgraben (formerly Spitalbach ) is a five-kilometer long stream in Straubing and in the Straubing-Bogen district in Lower Bavaria , which flows into the Danube from the right at the Straubing pumping station .

course

The course runs roughly to the east, beginning as a straightened drainage ditch in the intensively agricultural areas north of Rinkam and south of Wallmühle Airport, i.e. in the Straubing-Bogen district . After about seven hundred meters you will reach the Straubing area and thus also the Straubing Polder Landscape Protection Area . Here another two kilometers run along farm roads until the first settlements on Gartenstrasse are reached. The Moosgraben now follows this road for two kilometers, still in or on the edge of the nature reserve, to the Powder Tower . This is where the nature reserve ends and the Moosgraben runs through a small park north of the old town fortifications to the pumping station on the Donaudeich.
