The Trubach is a year-round water-bearing flowing water of the 2nd order in Upper Franconia . It rises in Franconian Switzerland and flows into the Wiesent from the left at Pretzfeld after about 21 kilometers .
Surname
The prefix Trub- probably comes from the Old High German adjective 'truobi' and Trubach therefore means cloudy oh. In the early 19th century the name “Stuhbach” was used for the upper reaches. It was only below the tributary of the Großenoher Bach that it was referred to as "Trubach" on a map from that time.
After heavy rains, light-colored suspended matter is brought into the stream from the countless small springs or corresponding sediment is swirled up from the bottom, which causes the otherwise clear stream to quickly become cloudy.
