The Murach is a 34 km long right tributary of the Schwarzach in the Schwandorf district in Upper Palatinate in Bavaria . It rises from several sources southwest of the Stückberg near Oberlangau and flows into the Schwarzach after a south-westerly run with minor fluctuations near Zangenstein.

course

The Murach arises on the wooded southwest slope of the Stückberg ( 808.6  m above sea level ) near the village of Oberlangau in the municipality of Schönsee . Some springs arise here, the highest at a little over about 740  m above sea level. NHN , the drains run up to a kilometer west and then finally unite near the edge of the forest at almost 670  m above sea level. NHN . After the young river has emerged from the forest, it runs through the village of Oberlangau and turns its course steadily to the southwest.

From Mitterlangau to Tannermühle , Neumühle , Plechhammer , Lukahammer , Gartenriedermühle , Hermannsriedermühle and Hebermühle , the Murach flows to Teunz . The Murach comes to the village of Niedermurach via the Reichertsmühle . Past Nottersdorf , Pertolzhofen , Hammermühle, Oberkonhof , Siegelsdorf and Fronhof , the Murach flows into the Schwarzach at Zangenstein , which flows into the Naab at Schwarzenfeld .

Catchment area

The catchment area, about 124 km² in size, stretches in a spindle shape about 22 km from the Stückberg at the northeast tip, which is 808.6  m above sea level. NHN highest point at all, up to the mouth in the southwest; across it it is a maximum of 8.5 km wide. Behind the left watershed, the Ascha flows in the same direction in the south-west to the upward Schwarzach, only very close to this small catchment areas of much shorter Schwarzach tributaries push themselves in between. The drainage area of ​​the downstream Schwarzach tributary Katzbach lies on the eastern watershed near the mouth in the west , beyond the adjoining north-western long one of the Pfreimd , which competes immediately one after the other over its large left tributaries Gleiritsch , Kainzbach , Uchabach and Tröbesbach , in the north then over the Loisbach . Finally, in the northeast, the Scheide separates from the Natschbach , which drains with its upper reaches over a north arch into the Czech Republic to the Pfreimd called Katharinenbach at the very top .
