Lieser at the town of Gmuend (alt. 741 m). From Koschach (part of 
the municipality of Malta), the surrounding region of which is called 
Brandstatt, the mountain valley (predominantly made up of alpine 
meadowlands and mountain huts) opens out into more cultivable land 
studded with settlements. The village of Malta (alt. 843 m), 
which is situated in the lower reaches of the river, forms the centre 
of the valley. To the north of the town of Gmuend, where the Malta 
Valley joins the  Katschtal Valley (River Lieser), the flow rate of 
the River Malta averages 3,8 m%%sup 3/%/sec.
