The Lachsbach (landscape: The Lachsbach ), also Rathmannsdorfer Bach , is the largest right tributary of the Elbe in Saxon Switzerland .

geography

The salmon stream is created by the union of the source rivers Sebnitz (left, half larger) and Polenz (right, a little longer) in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains near Porschdorf . The common estuary of both rivers was first mentioned in 1543 as the two waters , a name that is no longer used today. After a run of only three kilometers, the Lachsbach flows into the Elbe above the Prossen winter shelter at Wendisch ferry .

Former mills on the Lachsbach:

• Porschdorf Mill Porschdorf
• Prossen mill Prossen
