The Sulauberach , also called Sulzenaubach , is a glacier brook and right feeder of the Ruetz in the Stubai Alps  in Tyrol.

Run and landscape

The Sulauberach rises from the Sulzenauferner at an altitude of around 2500  m , then flows in a north-easterly direction and takes the runoff of the blue paints  from the right. When Sulzenau he plunges over a steep step 200 m is decreasing, the by Grünausee coming Freigerbach, and then flows through the Sulzenau, a relatively shallow trough valley , where he has trained a large, branched bed with rearrangement distances. It falls over another step in the 180 m high Grawa waterfall into the Stubai Valley and flows into the Ruetz at the Grabaalm.

Catchment area

The catchment area of the Sul Zauberach is 18.0 km² and, in addition to the Sulzenauferner, includes other glaciers such as the Fernerstube, the Wilden-Freiger-Ferner, the Aperen-Freiger-Ferner and the Kleiner Grünauferner, which together cover an area of ​​around 7 km² (as of 1988 ) and make up 39% of the catchment area. The highest point in the catchment area is the Zuckerhütl at 3507  m above sea level. A.

ecology

The entire course of the Sulauberach lies in the  Serles-Habicht-Zuckerhütl conservation area . The overall ecological condition is rated as very good, the bank and bottom  are natural. In the flat sections, the dynamics of erosion and sedimentation have formed relocation stretches that allow a diverse range of special flora and fauna. The Grawa waterfall has been declared a natural monument.
