Mindersdorfer Aach. A canal of only 100 metres (330 ft) across the Schwackenreute Plateau was all that it took to accomplish this. This effectively moved the European watershed, annexing the upper Ablach into the catchment area of the Rhine.

The course of the Ablach has been adjusted several times. A few kilometers of the headwaters have been diverted into the
Stockacher Aach, reducing the catchment area of the Ablach by about 20 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi). Curiously, the upper part of the Ablach as it flows through
