Weißach. The river, a right tributary of the Bregenzer-Acha (Rhine basin), flows for 33.5 kilometers along the land of Bavaria (Germany) and the land of Vorarlberg (Austria).

The Weißach, hydronym-composite, consists of two Weiß- + -ah root components. They implement substrate hydronymic terms found in the names of water bodies on different territories.
