Rossbreitenstrom

Rossbreitenstrom is a river located in Bavaria, Germany. It is a tributary of the Lech river. The river has a length of approximately 15 kilometers and flows through a predominantly rural and forested landscape. Its source is in the foothills of the Alps, and it gradually widens as it approaches its confluence with the Lech. The Rossbreitenstrom is characterized by its clear, cold water, typical of alpine rivers, and supports a variety of local flora and fauna. The surrounding areas are popular for outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing, though the river itself is not a major waterway for navigation. Its geographical position places it within the Lech river basin, a significant drainage system in southern Bavaria. The water quality of the Rossbreitenstrom is generally considered good, reflecting the relatively low industrial and agricultural impact in its watershed. Local communities rely on the river for its ecological contributions and recreational potential. The river's name likely derives from a combination of local dialect words related to its characteristics.
