The Leoganger Ache is a left tributary of the Saalachstrasse and drains the same valley with the main town of Leogang Leogang. After around 15 km it flows near Saalfelden in the Saalachstrasse.

The Leoganger Ache forms near the Tyrolean border in Leogang village huts to 960 m from the Schwarzleobach that of the southwest coming below the Spielberg horn in the Tyrolean Slate Alps (north of Saalbach ) on Spielbergtörl, rises to about 1600 m, and the Grießner Bach, flowing out to 970 m from the Grießensee and Grießener Moor from semolina pass. With Schwarzleobach the river length is 22 kilometers.

The Leoganger valley stretches from west to east, and falls open and gentle in the Saalfelden basin off after half way it passes the village of Leogang.

Northwest of Saalfelden, in the cadastral Uttenhofen, it opens in the Saalachstrasse ( Three Rivers junction with the Urslau ).

Your northern, right tributaries are several mountain streams that drain the limestone massif of the Leogang Stone Mountains ( Grießbach, Weissenbach for Grießner Bach, Birnbach from Birnhorn in Leogang, Weissenbach in Ecking ), from the slate Alps is particularly the Schwarzbach ( with Dunkelkendlbach of a pleasant atmosphere and Klammbach from Halder mountain Kogel ).

In Leoganger Valley B runs 164 Hochkönigstraße ( of Bischofshofen Tendered and Saalfelden leads ) over the pass Grießen and Fieberbrunn to St. Johann in Tirol - it is the only high-pass- free intra- Austrian connection between Tyrol and the East, but is particularly concerned about the small German Eck connected with Salzburg.
