The
Würm is a
river in
Bavaria,
Germany, right tributary of the
Amper. It drains the overflow from
Lake Starnberg and flows swiftly through the villages of
Gauting, Krailling, Planegg, Gräfelfing and Lochham as well as part of
Munich (in the borough of
Pasing) before joining, near
Dachau, the
Amper, which soon afterwards flows into the
Isar and eventually flowing into the
Danube. Although the Würm is not a very large river, it is well known as it gave its name to the
Würm glaciation.
