(a German word compounded from Thal, valley, and Weg, way) in physical geography, a term adopted into English usage signifying the line of greatest slope along the bottom of a valley, i.e. a line drawn through the lowest points of a valley in its downward slope. It thus marks the natural direction of a watercourse.
