!!!Bregenzerach

Bregenzerach River, Vorarlberg, mountain stream with a length of 
65 km in the Bregenz Forest with sources south of the 
municipality of Schroecken and a catchment area of 
830 km%%sup 2/% (of which 212 m lie in the Bavarian region 
of Allgaeu). From 1951 to 1989 the average rate of flow (town boundary 
of Bregenz) was on average 46 m%%sup 3/%/sec. Particularly in its 
upper reaches the Bregenzerach is a relatively pure river. The river 
forms numerous steep narrow valleys; in a deep valley it flows from 
the Hochtannberg mountain to the Vorderwald (part of the Bregenz 
Forest); in the lower reaches it forms the southern and western 
boundary of Bregenz and flows near the monastery of Mehrerau into  
Constance, Lake, where every year tens of thousands of cubic metres of 
coarse gravel are washed ashore which have formed a promontory in 
Bregenz Bay.
