Leukbach
Waterfall of Leuk
The Leukbach (or leukemia ) is a left tributary of the Saar and has a length of 15 km. The catchment area is 87.9 km ². It rises in Eft, the district Eft Hellendorf, Perl municipality in Saarland and flows through the communities of Mettlach, Kollesleuken ( Freudenburg ) Trassem and empties into Saarburg ( Rhineland -Palatinate ) in the Saar.
The Leukbach was diverted at Saar castle in the 12th century and since then plunges over a 18 m high waterfall. This makes it virtually inaccessible to fish and other aquatic fauna from the Saar.
