Leitzach

The Leitzach is a river in Bavaria, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Mangfall.

The river's source lies in the Bavarian Alps, near the Spitzingsee lake. From there, it flows generally northwards through the valleys and towns of the Bavarian Prealps. The Leitzach eventually joins the Mangfall river near Feldkirchen-Westerham.

The Leitzach valley is known for its scenic landscapes and recreational opportunities, including hiking and cycling. The river itself is used for small-scale hydropower generation in certain areas. The water quality and ecological condition of the Leitzach are subjects of ongoing monitoring and management efforts, balancing the needs of human use with the preservation of the natural environment.
