Kander (Germany)

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

The Kander rises at the head of the Kandertal on the Blauen in the Black Forest.

The stream has a total length of 30 km and a drop of 750m to its mouth on the Rhine near the community Märkt of the town Weil am Rhein.

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

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