The Wertach is a river in Bavaria, southern Germany. This 141 km (88 mi) [1] long river is a left tributary of the Lech. The Wertach originates in the Northern Limestone Alps in Bad Hindelang, east of Sonthofen ( district Oberallgäu). It flows north along the towns Wertach, Nesselwang, Marktoberdorf, Kaufbeuren, Schwabmünchen and Bobingen. The Wertach flows into the Lech (itself a tributary of the Danube) in Augsburg, and has a deep reservoir with a hydroelectric power plant.
