Kronach (Haßlach)
River in Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kronach (German pronunciation: [ˈkʁoːnax] ⓘ) is a river in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. It is about 8 km (5.0 mi) long and is formed from the confluence of the rivers Kremnitz and Grümpel, south of Wilhelmsthal. Including its source rivers Kremnitz and Finsterbach, the Kronach is 27.6 km (17.1 mi) long.[1] From there it flows in a generally southerly direction to its confluence with the Haßlach at the town of Kronach. The ST2200 road, which connects those two places, follows its valley.
