The Mud is an approximately 25 km long left and southern tributary of the Main . Its upper course is also called Mudau or Mudbach .
geography
course
The river Mud rises in the eastern Odenwald west of Mudau at an altitude of about 500 m above sea level. NHN . However, this upper course is often dry, so that the stream bed only flows from the water treading facility ⊙ in Mudau.
The Mud then flows through the Ünglertal in a steady northerly course . The slightly longer Gabelbach flows to the east of Kirchzell . In Amorbach , below the Gotthardsberg (304 m), its largest tributary flows from the right, the Billbach .
The Mud flows through Weilbach and Breitendiel and finally flows out at an altitude of about 125 m above sea level. NHN immediately after the Laurentius Chapel near Miltenberg from the left into the Main .
After a run of about 25.4 km with an average bottom gradient of about 15 ‰, the Mud flows about 375 meters below its origin.
Catchment area
The 408.2 km² catchment area of the Mud belongs partly to the sandstone Odenwald , partly to the sandstone Spessart and is drained from it via the Main and the Rhine to the North Sea.
The source and upper reaches of the Mud are in the Neckar-Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg , the middle and lower reaches of the Miltenberg district in Bavaria .
