The Partnach is a 16.5 km long Bavarian Mountain river. It rises to 1440 m altitude in the Zugspitze Mountains. Is fed by meltwater from the Partnach of higher than 1100 meters and located Schneefernerhaus glacier, which seeps into the karstic rock bottom and re-entering the Partnachursprung to the surface.

Name

The name Partnach consists of the Indo-European word for portn passage and the Old High German word aha ( Ache ) for a watercourse together.

Partnachursprung

The Partnachursprung is located 1.440 m to the west of the ox Reintalangerhuette seat. During various measurements in the years 2002-2006, the bulk values ​​of the source were recorded and documented. The lowest measured bulk ( NNC ) - at times the source was during the measurements even like dry - was 400 l / s, the highest measured bulk ( HHQ ) at 16,770 l / s From the determined values ​​( MNQ ) result for the period 2002-2006, the mean low-water discharge of 490 l / s, the mean water ( MQ ) with 1.460 l / s and the Middle flood discharge ( MHQ ) with 8,820 l / s

Course

The Partnach then flows down the Reintal. There were until 2005 two mountain lakes - the Front and Rear Blue Gumpe. In the former, the water of the Partnach was jammed at boulders from landslides. Of natural products derived from a landslide dam was partially removed and the lake completely filled with sediment by a heavy rain. The Blue Gumpe thus no longer exists today.

In Reintal the Partnach formed a total of four gorges, one of which is the last known and This tourist Partnachklamm. This fourth Partnachklamm is 720 meters long and up to 80 m deep. Within the gorge, the previously up to 25 m wide Partnach often narrowed to only 5 m wide and overcomes a several -meter-high rock step with a waterfall. Below the Gefällstufen it has formed part of several meters deep potholes. In the center it flows through a rock arch.

At the northwestern outskirts of Garmisch- Partenkirchen Partnach opens at 690 m above sea level. NN on the right side in the Loisach. She puts so over a short distance back a height distance of 750 m. Your average gradient is 4.5%. Until the outskirts of Garmisch- Partenkirchen Partnach is a near-natural river. From there to the mouth of the Loisach their banks are built with stone and block beds and defined by it. The Partnach is to cross several bridges and bridges. The first leads to the goat hut in Reintal across the river, the second and third just before the entrance to the Partnachklamm. Two webs can also look deep into the gorge itself.
