Kleine Ohe (Ilz)

Count Auer lake

The Kleine Ohe (also: Count Ohe ) is fed from source streams of the highlands of the Bavarian Forest around the Lusen. 1558, the city Grafenau tried to drift the right at Kleine Ohe. Thus, the river was used until shortly after the Second World War for the Holztrift since the mid-16th century. In this way, the citizens were supplied with firewood and timber from the northern forests around the Lusen. On 28 January 1581 a city Grafenau was adopted the racing and drift money on the Kleine Ohe by Duke Wilhelm. In the following centuries it was because of the Holztrift repeatedly to disputes between the city Grafenau and the monastery of St. Oswald, which were only terminated by the secularization of the former provost in 1803.

Since 1976, the Kleine Ohe in Grafenau is dammed into a lake. South of the city, she unites with the Great Ohe Ohe and Mitter Acher. These are the headwaters of the Ilz.

At river kilometer 6.00, there is a level measuring point of the Water Management Office Deggendorf for the NID Bavaria.
