The location and topography of the Augsburg nature park - western forests, in which the Reischenau is marked

The Reischenau is the middle part of the Augsburg-Westliche Wälder nature park . Unlike the adjacent very wooded landscapes - the perennial south, and the Holzwinkel north of Reischenau - she was formerly a vast area of marshland in one of the together created basin. The name derives from the boggy landscape and the Reischen (rushes) growing there, which has been handed down from the 11th century (Rischinaowa) and 13th century (Rischenawe).

The Reischenau is drained by the Reichenbach , the Kleine Roth and the Zusam, into which both flow and which the Reischenau flows through in a large east arch.
