Location: Auer - Ora, South Tyrol, Italy
The Schwarzenbach has its source at the 2439 m high Schwarzhorn and, with a few changes of direction, flows west towards the Adige Valley. The catchment area of the Schwarzenbach consists primarily of porphyry rock from the Adige volcanic group. On the middle course, its most important tributary, the Bletterbach, which has its source on the Weißhorn, runs into it from the right. Below the village of Holen, the Holental valley, dug deep by the Schwarzenbach, has formed into a gorge with numerous waterfalls (also known as the Schwarzenbachschlucht), which rises near Auer in the Unterland. After around 15 km, the Schwarzenbach flows into the Adige below Castelfeder at an altitude of 216 m. Source: Wikipedia
