geography

course

The still largely natural Schorgast, after which the valley is named, has its source in the eastern municipality of Marktschorgast . Part of the springs there used to be used to supply the community with drinking water. The Bamberg - Hof railway line, part of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn from Lindau to Hof, touches the south-eastern edge of the Schorgast catchment area above the Inclined Plane . A little west of Marktschorgast, the Perlbach, a good five times as rich in water and a good ten kilometers longer, flows into the stream from the north, making it the main strand of the Schorgast river system in terms of water science . On its further course to the west, the Schorgast takes on the Weißenbach, its equal Koser and the Untere Steinach .

The Schorgast flows through the towns of Marktschorgast , Wirsberg , Ludwigschorgast and Untersteinach . At Ködnitz -Kauerndorf it flows as a small river with an average water flow of 3.74 m³ / s into the White Main, which is only around 13% larger there.

Schorgast river system

The river system of the Schorgast is almost tree-like (dendritic), which is reflected in the frequent confluence of almost equally large watercourses (Schorgast - Koser, Große and Kleine Koser, Schorgast - Untere Steinach, Schlackenmühlbach - Großer Rehbach) and at the same time the risk of adding flood peaks brings itself. In the area of ​​the Franconian Forest there are transitions to a parallel structure. The most important collecting line is the Franconian Line along the western edge of the Franconian Forest, along which the largest flowing waters of the system, Schorgast and Untere Steinach, converge.

For details of the rivers, see the lists of rivers in the Schorgast river system and in the higher-level Weißer Main river system .
