From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falkenseebach is a river in Bavaria, Germany. Its source is about 600 m (2,000 ft) southwest of the Falkensee between Falkenstein (1,181 m (3,875 ft)) and Großer Turm (1,120 m (3,670 ft)) in the Eastern Chiemgau Alps. It flows northeast and then turns west where at its confluence with the Großwaldbach in Inzell, the Rote Traun is formed.

Course
The Falkenseebach rises from several springs located within the Eastern Chiemgau Alps Nature Reserve. It flows through the Falkensee and continues northeast through the Weittal valley. Before reaching Inzell, it turns westward and joins the more voluminous Großwaldbach to form the Rote Traun. The Weißbach, which drains via the Saalach and Salzach, rises 200 metres south of the Falkenseebach.[2]
