The Schwarzach (local: Schwarza) is a 53 km long river in Bavaria in the foreland of the Southern Franconian Alb and on the Southern Franconian Alb , which flows south from Postbauer-Heng and flows into the Altmühl from the left near Kinding in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt .

Surname

In the upper reaches, this Schwarzach is also called “Hintere Schwarzach” to distinguish it from the tributary of the same name, the Rednitz , which is also called “Vordere Schwarzach”. The catchment areas of the Vorderer and Hinterer Schwarzach collide and they themselves come closer than 5 km.

geography

course

The Schwarzach arises west of Kemnath in the municipality of Postbauer-Heng through the confluence of the larger left Siegenbach , which rises on the west side of the Dillberg, with the right Schwarzwasser, which rises near Burgthann -Uunterferrieden . After a further 48 km to the south, it joins the Altmühl from the left at Kinding .

Places on the Schwarzach are Seligenporten (district of Pyrbaum ), Freystadt , Greding and Kinding . The lower reaches of the Schwarzach flow through the Altmühltal Nature Park .

The most important tributaries are the Thalach coming from Thalmässing and above all the Anlauter , which both flow into the lower reaches and from the right, the Anlauter only a good kilometer before the mouth of the Schwarzach into the Altmühl.
