Today the Klosterbach is the original looping course of the River Danube before that river was straightened into a new channel to the south, in the area of Schwenningen

Klosterbach is a river of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, Germany. It is left a tributary of the Danube near Schwenningen.

One of its tributaries is the Nebel (German Nebelbach), which played a tactical role in the Battle of Blenheim and is often mentioned in accounts of that battle.[2]
