The
Loisach (German pronunciation: [ˈlɔʏzax] ) is a river that flows through Tyrol, Austria and Bavaria, Germany. The Loisach runs through the great moors
Murnauer Moos 
and
Loisach-Kochelsee-Moore 
The Loisach is a 113-kilometre-long (70 mi) left tributary to the Isar whose source is near
Ehrwald 
in Austria. It flows past
Garmisch-Partenkirchen 
and into the Kochelsee. At this lake, the water that was diverted from the upper river Isar for the
Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station 
joins the Loisach. The Loisach then flows out of Kochelsee and joins the Isar at
Wolfratshausen 
. A canal joins the Isar and the Loisach returning the water diverted for power generation to the Isar before Wolfratshausen to reduce the risk of flooding in the town.
