The Schildbach is an orographically right tributary of the Tauernbach in the municipality of Matrei in East Tyrol ( Lienz district ). The stream rises south of the Schildkogel and flows southeast of the Schildalm into the Tauernbach.

Location and course

The headwaters of the Schildbach lie between the Schildkogel in the north, the Dabernitzkogel in the southwest and the Hinteren Michlbachspitze and the Raneburgkogel in the south. Among other things, the upper reaches of the Schildbach is fed by meltwater from the Dabernitzkees, and tributaries also exist on the south-east slopes between Schildkogel and Spitzkogel and on the north-west flank of the Stallkogel . The Schildbach itself flows from the high valley between Schildkogel and Dabernitzkogel initially to the southeast and then swings to the northeast to the northwest of the Raneburgkogel. It falls over several waterfalls and reaches the tree line at around 1700 meters above sea level. The Schildbach enters the Tauern Valley south of the Schildalm and flows into the Tauernbach on the right.

geology

There are no moraine walls on the uppermost plateaus of the Schildbach, only on the right bank there are bank moraines between 1900 and 2120 meters above sea level. The glacier that formed the Schildbach valley reached down into the Tauern valley during its innermost advance.
