The Adelegg is one to 1129  m above sea level. NHN high, 112 km² large and predominantly wooded mountain landscape immediately north of the Alps , which lies within the Western Allgäu in the Baden-Württemberg district of Ravensburg and in the Bavarian district of Oberallgäu .

Geology and geography

geology

The Adelegg is located northwest of the Allgäu Alps . Contrary to popular belief, it is not an extension of the Fold Mountains , but belongs to the Molasse basin that stretches between the Alps and the Swabian Alb . Over many millions of years, this absorbed material that had been eroded in the rising Alps - the so-called Alpine molasse . The conglomerate molasse (" Nagelfluh ") of the Adelegg belongs to the Upper Freshwater Molasse and was therefore deposited in the Miocene . Like the conglomerate molasse of the Hochgrat , it represents the alluvial fan of the Ur-Iller (Hochgrat-Adelegg fan). The Ur-Iller brought material from the south from the central Alps and entered the Alpine foothills about 10 km west of the valley of today's Iller . The high ridge south of the Adelegg therefore still belongs to the molasse basin, but its molasse represents an older stage of the Hochgrat-Adelegg fan ( lower freshwater molasse , late Oligocene ) and was still covered by late Alpine folding. This is why these formations are also called fold molasses . entire paragraph after   and 

location

The Adelegg surrounds the upper reaches of the Eschach and its right tributary, the Kürnach . The Wengener Argen flows south of it and flows into the Untere Argen , whose basin near Isny borders the ridge to the west. To the northwest, the Hofser Ach has its upper course, to the east the Rohrach near Wiggensbach . The upper and lower urban forest of Leutkirch do not belong to the Adelegg, but are moraines from the crack ice age .

Natural allocation and structure

In the foothills of the Alps , the mountain landscape forms the main unit Adelegg (023) in the natural spatial main unit group Nagelfluhhöhen and Senken between Lake Constance and Isar (No. 02) , which is divided into the subunits Hohe (Südliche) Adelegg (023.0) with the Adelegg mountain range in the southwest and divided into Northeast Adelegg (023.1) in the northeast and Northwest Adelegg (023.2) in the north.

The name Adelegg is mostly only used for the Adelegg mountain range in Württemberg , but the Hohentanner Forest to the north-northeast of this mountain range , the Kürnacher Forest to the northeast and the Buchenberg Forest to the east also belong to the landscape of the Adelegg low mountain range (of the same name) . To the south - no longer part of this landscape - beyond the Wengener Argen, the Sonneneck ridge joins.

mountains

The highest mountain in the Adelegg mountain range in Württemberg is the Black Ridge , the summit of which is located a few meters northwest of the Bavarian border and is the highest mountain in the Tübingen administrative district. This summit and other mountains and elevations as well as their foothills within the Adelegg mountain range and the partially even higher Adelegg landscape are - sorted by altitude in meters (m) above sea ​​level (NHN) (BW =  Baden-Württemberg ; BY =  Bavaria ):

also exclusively in the Adelegg mountain range:

  • Rote Fluh ( 1090  m ), 1 km northeast of the Black Ridge, BW
  • Schönbühl ( 1074.8  m ), 400 m north-north-west of the Black Ridge, BW
  • Raggenhorn ( 1056.2  m ), 1.4 km north-north-west of Weitnau-Wengen, BW and BY
  • Hohkopf ( 1035.2  m ), 2.3 km east-southeast of Isny - Ratzenhofen , BW
  • Wegmannshöhe ( 1031.8  m ), 2.4 km east of Isny-Ratzenhofen, BW
  • Ochsenkapf ( 1011.7  m ), 1.8 km east-southeast of Isny-Ratzenhofen, BW
  • Steinbergele ( 1009.2  m ), 2 km southeast of Rohrdorf , BW
  • Schafberg ( 1008.9  m ), 900 m south of Isny- Eisenbach , BW
  • Rudershöhe ( 999.2  m ), 2.3 km southeast of Rohrdorf, BW
  • Mount of Olives ( 961.8  m ), 1.5 km east of Rohrdorf, BW
  • Herrenberg ( 931.2  m ), 1.8 km northeast of Rohrdorf, BW
  • Bärenbühl ( 930.5  m ), 1.2 km northeast of Rohrdorf, BW
  • Heidenkopf ( 918.2  m ), 800 m north-northeast of Rohrdorf, BW
  • Kapf ( 885.7  m ), 1 km west-southwest of Schmidsfelden , BW

Waters and watershed

The Eschach rises in the Buchenberg Forest adjoining the Adelegg mountain range, on whose southeast edge the Eschacher Weiher lies, which , without flowing through this pond, runs along the northeast edge of the mountain range in a predominantly north-westerly direction and flows into the Aitrach , whose water flows over the north-facing Iller flows into the Danube. The Wengener Argen flows south past the Adelegg in an east-west direction , which flows into the Untere Argen , which passes the mountain range in a south-east-north-west direction and whose water flows south-west into Lake Constance and thus into the Rhine . Thus the Adelegg lies on the Rhine-Danube watershed .

Protected areas

Small parts of the Adelegg mountain ridge belong to the 6.4 km² fauna-flora-habitat area of Adelegg (FFH no. 8326-341). Large parts are in the Adelegg landscape protection area and the associated tertiary foreland ( CDDA no. 319441), which is 68.14 km² in size and was founded on March 31, 1994, and in the Adelegg bird protection area (VSG no. 8226-441).

Economy and tourism

The Adelegg is mainly used for forestry and tourism. In modern times, but possibly as early as the late Middle Ages, various glassworks were located here ; The glassworks of the former glassmaker's village of Schmidsfelden can still be visited .

For example, on the 320 km long Black Forest-Swabian-Alb-Allgäu-Weg and on the 185 km long Heuberg-Allgäu-Weg the Adelegg can be hiked through. There are some winter sports opportunities, especially in the Buchenberger Wald part of the landscape .
