Geography

The Leiblach source is near the German municipality ofHeimenkirch,flowing to the southwest. Near the Austrian town ofHohenweiler,the river joins a small tributary, theRickenbach[ceb;sv].This tributary forms a part of the Austrian-German border, and below the confluence the border continues to follow the Leiblach until it eventually empties into Lake Constance between the German town ofLindauand the Austrian village ofLochau.
