Geography

The Flossach rises near the village of Gerum, northwest of Türkheim at an elevation of {{convert|588|m|abbr=on}}. It flows in a northwesterly direction through a broad valley, formed during the last glacial times. The {{convert|14.5|km|abbr=on}} long Weissbach flows parallel to the Flossach in the same valley. Approximately {{convert|900|m|abbr=on}} below the mouth of the brook Wörth, the Flossach divides into two branches. The main Flossach branch flows through the towns of Tussenhausen and Zaisertshofen; the other branch (called the Lettenbach or Lehnbachof) flows through Mattsiesmühle (north of Mattsies) and along the Mindelheim-Mattsies airfield. Just before joining the Mindel at an elevation of {{convert|522|m|abbr=on}}, the Flossbach flows through the district of Günzburg and forms the border between Unterallgäu and Günzburg counties.
