The Saußbach ( called Saußwasser on some sections ) is a brook in the Lower Bavarian district of Freyung-Grafenau .

course

The Saußbach arises from the Teufelsbach and the Rothbach . At Waldmühle, east of Hohenröhren , the Rothbach meets the Teufelsbach from the north. From Mauth the stream flows past Annathal (municipality of Mauth) towards Freyung . There the Saußbach flows around a ledge on which Wolfstein Castle is located. Then the water enters a gorge (the Buchberger Leite ). At the beginning of the gorge, the Saußbach is dammed into a lake and most of the water is fed into a tunnel to generate energy (see Freyung Carbide Works ). A more than 50 m high bridge on which the B 12 runs spans the reservoir . About two kilometers further, the brook meets the Reschbach and together with it forms the Wolfsteiner Ohe .

use

Dam of the Saußbachwerk

Like many streams in the area, the Saußbach was previously used for wood drift . Today several small hydropower plants use the stream to generate energy.
