The Teischnitzbach is a brook in the municipality of Kals am Großglockner ( Lienz district ). The stream rises south of the Großglockner and flows into the Kalserbach at Spöttling-Taurer .

Course and character

The Teischnitzbach rises in the high valley of the Teischnitz valley between Gamsspitze , Gramul , Luisenkopf and Schere . The Großglockner is only a little to the north . The main source of the Teischnitzbach is the meltwater of the Teischnitzkees, remnants of the Grauer Kees and smaller spring streams that form on the eastern slopes of the Salzkogel , Zollspitze and Kristallspitzl . The Teischnitzbach then flows in a southerly direction through the high valley to the Pifanghütte and then curves to the west in the Teischnitzeben area. As a result, the Teischnitzbach falls down a 500 meter high, wooded gorge and flows into the Kalserbach at Spöttling-Taurer.

The Teischnitzbach has an average gradient of 17.5%. It flows in the high valley through scree slopes, in the middle reaches pasture areas determine the bank character. The stream has an unchanged water morphology for over two thirds of its course. In the lower reaches, due to the securing of the neighboring road, there are impairments which, however, have little influence on the character of the Teischnitzbach as a typical glacier creek. Most of the course of the stream lies in the Hohe Tauern National Park .

Hydrology

The natural catchment area of the Teischnitzbach is 14.0 km², of which 2.0 km² (14%) are glaciated (as of 1998). The highest point in the catchment area is the Großglockner at 3798  m above sea level. A.

The mean discharge at the Spöttling-Taurer gauge, shortly before the confluence with the Kalserbach, is 0.52 m³ / s, which corresponds to a discharge rate of 37.4 l / (s · km²). Due to the altitude of the catchment area and the glaciers in it, the Teischnitzbach has a very pronounced nivo-glacial runoff regime , which is characterized by high runoffs in summer and low runoffs in winter. The mean monthly mean of the runoff in the month of July with the most water, at 1.47 m³ / s, is around 18 times higher than in the months with the least water in February and March with 0.08 m³ / s each.
