Querbach is a river of Bavaria, Germany. It is the left headwater of the Westerbach. [1]
The Querbach rises in the Arzborn (sometimes called Atzborn), a larger spring on the Hoher Querberg (474 m). It is located northeast of Westerngrund, in the Atzborn forest area, near the state border with Hesse. The spring water flows from a small opening on the mountainside.
The Querbach runs in a southwesterly direction to Huckelheim. There it unites with the Huckelheimer Bach to form the Westerbach.
The Kahl is a river in the northern Spessart in Bavaria and Hesse, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Main and is 35.6 km (22.1 mi) long. The name Kahl comes from the Old High German word kaldaha, which means cool and clear. The Kahl rises from two sources left and right of the road at the foot of the Spessart hills, near Kleinkahl. These springs produce 50–60 litres per second. The Kahl flows into the river Main in Kahl am Main. The mouth is near the old Kahl Nuclear Power Plant. The largest tributaries are Westerbach, Sommerkahl, Reichenbach and Geiselbach.
The Geiselbach is a right tributary of the Kahl in the northern Spessart in Bavaria and Hesse, Germany. It is 5,2 km (3,2 mi) long and begins at the confluence of multiple headstreams in Geiselbach. The largest tributary is the Omersbach. It discharges near the Teufelsmühle. The Geiselbach flows through the Teufelsgrund to Hüttelngesäß and forms the border between Hesse and Bavaria. Near the village Brücken it empties into the Kahl.
The Sommerkahl is a small river in the northern Spessart in Lower Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. Near Langenborn the Sommerkahl empties from the left into the Kahl. Together with Westerbach, Reichenbach and Geiselbach the Sommerkahl is one of the largest tributaries of the Kahl.
