The Kander is a small river flowing from the southern Black Forest westward into the Rhine River

Geography

The Kander rises at the head of the Kandertal on the Hochblauen in the Black Forest. Within the first 10km of its course to Kandern, the Kander loses 650m of elevation. The stream has a total length of 22km and a drop of 750m to its mouth on the Rhine near the town of Märkt

History

The name Kander comes from the Celtic word "kandera", meaning "clear flowing".

Transportation uses

Due to the stream's small size it has no transportation function.
