The Lachsbach ( scenic: The Lachsbach ), also Rathmann villages Bach, is the largest right tributary of the Elbe in Saxon Switzerland.

Geography

The salmon creek formed by the union of the source rivers Sebnitz ( left -half times larger ) and Polenz (right, a little longer) in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains at Porsch village. The common mouth distance of both rivers was first mentioned in 1543 as the Beyde water, which today is no more common name. After a run of only three kilometers of the salmon stream flows above the Prossener winter protection harbor at Wendischfähre into the Elbe.
