The Schmirnbach is a creek in Tyrol , Austria that flows through the Schmirn valley .

course

The Kluppenbach near Madern, shortly before the confluence with the Kaserer Bach

The Schmirnbach arises from the confluence of the Kluppenbach and Wildlahnerbach near Toldern (municipality of Schmirn ) in the Innerschmirn. Alternatively, the section of the Kluppenbach from the confluence with the Kaserer Bach ( ⊙ ) near Madern in the rear Schmirntal is called Schmirnbach. The source streams arise in the Tux and Zillertal Alps at an altitude of over 2500  m . The Schmirnbach flows southwest through the Schmirntal and joins in St. Jodok am Brenner with the Valser Bach coming from the Valser Tal , before it flows into the Sill 1 km further at Stafflach (municipality of Steinach am Brenner ) . Occasionally the lowest section from the confluence is also referred to as Schmirnbach.

Spring streams

• The Kluppenbach is 7.9 km long and rises from the Staffelsee below the Vulture at 2660  m above sea level. A. ( ⊙ )

• The Kaserer Bach is 5.2 km long and rises on the Kleiner Kaserer at 2523  m above sea level. A. ( ⊙ )

• The Wildlahnerbach is 6.2 km long and rises below the Olperer at 2598  m above sea level. A. ( ⊙ )

Together with the Kluppenbach as the longest source brook, the Schmirnbach has a length of 15.1 km and a difference in altitude of 1536 m.

Catchment area

The catchment area of the Schmirnbach is 62.0 km², the highest point in it is the Olperer at 3476  m above sea level. A. At its confluence with the Valser Bach, the Schmirnbach drains a significantly larger catchment area than this (47.3 km²).

environment

While the source streams and tributaries are largely natural, the banks of the Schmirnbach are blocked in parts, in the lower reaches even continuously. The Schmirnbach has water quality classes I-II throughout its course (as of 2005).
