Jagst

The Jagst is a river in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, about 190 km long and a right tributary of the Neckar. It rises at the eastern edge of the Swabian Jura, flows past Ellwangen and Crailsheim through the Hohenlohe plain and joins the Neckar at Bad Friedrichshall. Its valley, with that of the parallel Kocher, formed the core of the Hohenlohe lands.
