The Murg , also called Hauensteiner Murg , Obere Murg or Murgbach , is a right tributary of the High Rhine in Baden-Württemberg .
Surname
To distinguish it from the larger Murg in the northern Black Forest , which also flows further down into the Rhine, this Murg in the southern Black Forest is also called Obere Murg or, after the former county of Hauenstein, Hauensteiner Murg . There are three other rivers of the same name in Switzerland that flow into the Thur , the Aare and the Walensee . For etymology see the article on the name of the Murg .
geography
course
The spring meadows of the Murg are located in the Hotzenwald on the heights of the southern Black Forest near Lochhäuser, south of Wehrhalden, a northern district of Herrischried . The artificially created Sägebach of the Fronmühle also feeds the Murg. From there, the Murg initially flows in a predominantly wide high valley with a moderate gradient, meandering south. Wühre , long irrigation channels , branch off from the Murg in several places . About a kilometer south of Hottingen, the high valley of the Murg merges into a deeply cut, in parts gorge-like valley. Its rocky slopes are made up of mixed forests. The tributaries that flow here form regionally known waterfalls , first the Seelbach as the largest tributary of the Murg, the 13 meter high Strahlbrusch , then the Lehenbach, a more than 40 meter high series of waterfalls below the Wieladingen castle ruins . A little below in a small valley widening north of Harpolingen is the historic Lochmühle , which can be visited. Shortly before the village of Murg , about 2 km before it flows into the Rhine, the Murg emerges from the gorge into the wide valley of the High Rhine.

Development
Almost the entire course of the river is accompanied by a well-developed hiking trail, the Murgtalpfad . In the upper reaches of the Murg, the high valley is opened up by state road 151, which, coming from Todtmoos in the Black Forest, leads to the village of Murg, where the road is picked up by the B34. It accompanies the lower, rocky section of the valley over the adjacent plateaus. There, the torrent is followed by a narrow, unpaved municipal road with three narrow tunnels, which is closed to general traffic and is mainly used by hikers and cyclists. When the water level is high, the Murg, with its heavy whitewater, is also attractive for whitewater canoes .
Protected areas
Two valley sections are designated as landscape protection areas (LSG). On the markings of the municipalities of Herrischried and Görwihl the 7.8 km² LSG Oberes Murgtal , identified by ordinance of the Waldshut District Office of December 5, 1986 (protected area number 3.37.015). On the rocky lower reaches from the Hottinger Chapel lies the 2.45 km² large LSG Murgtal , designated under the protection area number 3.37.008 by ordinance of the former district office of Säckingen from October 21, 1940.
