Kammel

Tributaries which flow into the Kammel are (from south to north):

• the Krumbach (left tributary); confluence with the Kammel in Krumbach
• the Haselbach (right tributary); confluence with the Kammel in Naichen, municipality: Neuburg an der Kammel
• the Krähenbach (right tributary); confluence with the Kammel in Ettenbeuren, municipality: Kammeltal

Municipalities which are passed by the Kammel are (from south to north):
in the district Unterallgäu: Stetten, Kammlach, Oberrieden, Pfaffenhausen and Breitenbrunn;
in the district Günzburg: Aletshausen, the town Krumbach, Neuburg an der Kammel, Kammeltal, the town Burgau and Rettenbach;

The name of the Kammel derives from the Celtic kamb or camb which means crooked. So the Kammel is the crooked water. Other authors are of the opinion that Kammel means bog. Both origins of the name can be possible because the meanders of the stream Kammel are clearly distinct.
