Klingbach
The Klingbach is a stream, just under long, in South Palatinate, Germany, and a left-hand tributary of the Michelsbach. Geography Course The main source of the Klingbach is located in the southern Palatine Forest, the German part of the Wasgau, at a height of about on the northeast slope of the hill on which the ruined Lindelbrunn Castle stands. Another, almost equally strong, source is situated a good two kilometres to the south. The two source streams converged after about three kilometres in Silz. The Klingbach leaves the hills in an eastern direction at Klingenmünster and crosses the German Wine Route before reaching the Upper Rhine Plain. It flows through the western half of the plain, initially in an easterly direction, but later swinging more to the northeast.

On the other hand, the Klingbach which joins it from the north and is roughly equally in volume (and also the Erlenbach) is counted as a tributary of the Michelsbach.{{GeoQuelle, DE-RP, WW The Michelsbach flows from Leimersheim northwards and empties into the Sondernheim Old Rhine (''Sondernheimer Altrhein''). In doing so it passes through the municipalities of Leimersheim and Hördt as well as the Hördter Rheinaue nature reserve. The Michelsbach is an outstanding river for canoeing, both for ordinary canoes as well as Canadian canoes. However, the stream has several forks as it makes its way northwards, some of which are de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
