Zeegenbach

The Zeegenbach is a stream in Franconia, Germany, in the Franconian Jura region, and is about 15 kilometers (about 9.3 miles) long. The Zeegenbach lies about 15 kilometers south-west from Bamberg by the town of Strullendorf.NameIn official maps, the Zeegenbach is sometimes also called the "Ziegenbach." In other, non-official maps, the lower course of the stream is sometimes called the Strullendorfer Bach, or the "Strullendorf stream."CourseThe Zeegenbach has its source east of the village Zeegendorf, in the karsts of the Franconian Switzerland. Through the "Zeegenbachtal" valley flows the stream of the same name in the direction of Strullendorf. Here a multitude of small sources feeds the stream. On its course lies the villages of Zeegendorf, Mistendorf, Leesten, Wernsdorf and Amlingstadt, all of which belong to the community of Strullendorf.West from Strullendorf, the Zeegenbach crosses the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal. North of Pettstadt, the Zeegenbach flows into the Regnitz.
