The Starzlach , also called Burgberger Starzlach or Winkler Starzlach , is an 11 km long creek of the Allgäu Alps with its main upper reaches Stuhlbach , which flows from the right and northeast into the lower Ostrach on the northern edge of Sonthofen in the Oberallgäu district in Bavaria .
There are two other bodies of water with the same name in the region, which are distinguished in the Starzlach disambiguation . The catchment area of the sister named Wertacher Starzlach on the upper reaches even borders on the upper watershed of the Starzlach treated here.
etymology
The name Starzlach means "Ach jumping over the rocks", also "torrent".
geography
course
The Starzlach is created by the confluence of the left Hauptquellbach Stuhlbach and the right Weiherbach in its southwest running valley between Wertacher Hörnle in the east-southeast and Grünten in the west-northwest.
Upper reaches Stuhlbach
The Stuhlbach arises at around 1555 m above sea level. NHN on the northern upper slope of the Rosskopf ( 1596 m above sea level ) on the edge of a mat and initially runs north through the Great Forest to the valley. Around 1150 m above sea level. NN he begins a wide left curve of almost one and a half right angles, after which he is about 1010 m above sea level. NHN at the former Diensthütte (BaySF), today Bergwaldhaus Dreiangelhütte accommodation hut, reaches the direction of flow of the Starzlach, which is created here by the inflow of the Weiherbach from the right. (Quellgrund im Dreiangel) The Stuhlbach is about three and a half kilometers long and drains about four square kilometers of the left and southeastern slopes of the Upper Valley.
Upper course Weiherbach
The Weiherbach, only about two kilometers long with a catchment area of about three and a half square kilometers and a south-westerly run, is only about 1070 m above sea level. NHN in a clearing east of the Sattelhütte and collects the water from the right, northwestern side of the valley. Its origin is less than 700 meters from the run of the upper reaches Wertacher Starzlach said other Starzlach away, which is less than 20 meters above Weiherbach origin uplifting Hochtalsattel behind its course in the opposite direction to Wertach versa.
Lower Starzlach
The Starzlach runs from beginning to end on the valley axis to the southwest and collects a few right and left tributaries, until shortly towards the end of its mountain valley south of the Grünten it passes through the Starzlach Gorge and finally before its exit into the wide Sonthofen right valley plain of the Iller at heights of 790 m ü. NHN the retention basin of the Ofenwald Dam . Then she leaves the forest behind her before her last two kilometers, passes the Winkel district and finally reaches the northern edge of Sonthofen itself, where she then at about 740 m above sea level. NHN on the river bridge of the St 2007 to Burgberg im Allgäu flows from the right and northeast into the Ostrach , which itself flows less than two kilometers further down into the Iller.
Catchment area
The Starzlach drains almost 21 km² of an alpine valley between the mountain ranges of the Grünten on the north-west and the Wertacher Hörnles on the south-east side of the valley in a south-westerly direction to the Ostrach in Sonthofen. Behind the almost closed oval Bergring on whose crest the watershed is located, is competing in the northwest of Rossbach to Iller bounded on the north Herzlessteinbach for Wertach influx Wertacher Star Zach , whose immediate catchment area then adjacent to the northeast of Schwellbach also to this in the east. On the other side of the ridge in the south-east, the Weißenbach flows towards the almost identical river . Beyond the curve from south to west there are only small streams to the Ostrach, then to the northwest to the Iller.
