The Bauna is a 17.2 km long, western and orographically left tributary of the Fulda in the district of Kassel , northern Hesse ( Germany ).

course

The Bauna is created in the Hohe Habichtswald by the confluence of the Hinterer and Vorderer Bauna . In the Habichtswald Nature Park located sources of rear Bauna (in the upper reaches Small Bauna called, left source stream of Bauna) are in the range of Kaulenbergs ( 520.3  m ) to the north of Hoof , a municipality part of Schauenburg . The origin of the Near Bauna (right and longest river source of Bauna), the actual Baunaquelle (about  465  m above sea level.  NHN ), located on the southern slope of Ahrens Berg (about 570  m ), which rises northwest of Hoof. The Vordere Bauna is bridged directly above Hoof by the route of the Kassel-Naumburg Railway (popularly: Naumburger Kleinbahn ).

Already above the junction of the source streams in Hoof, both enter the Hoofer Pforte , a valley basin between the Hohem Habichtswald (up to 614.8  m ) in the north and the Langenberg (up to 556.7  m ) in the south, which henceforth forms the course of the Bauna accompanied to the southeast.

The Bauna initially runs through Hoof, where it passes the Schauenburg castle ruins a little northeast. It then flows through Schauenburg- Elgershausen , where it is again bridged by the Kassel-Naumburg railway at the entrance to the town and after which it touches the flood retention basin Polder Schefferfeld .

Immediately afterwards, the stream is bridged by Landesstraße  3215 (former federal highway 520 ), after which it flows through Baunatal , passing the wooded Baunsberg ( 413.4  m ) to the south and running through the Baunataler Stadtpark . In Baunatal the Bauna flows through the districts of Altenritte , Alten- and Kirchbauna and Guntershausen . In the last-mentioned district it is spanned by a bridge on the Bebra-Baunatal-Guntershausen railway line as part of the Bauna Viaduct .

Finally , the Bauna flows directly east of Guntershausen around 1.5 km (as the crow flies ) north-northeast of the confluence of the Eder into the Fulda, flowing from the west at around 144  m altitude directly above the Fulda river kilometer 42.4 into the Fulda coming from there from the south .

Catchment area and tributaries

The tributaries of the Bauna, whose catchment area is 47.37 km², include these rivers with orographic allocation (l = left-hand side; r = right-hand side), length in kilometers (km), and the estuary with Baunabach kilometers downstream :

Source streams:

  • Vordere Bauna (r; 3.15 km as part of the total length of 17.2 km of the Bauna), north-western, longest source stream, coming from the Ahrensberg , confluence in Hoof (km 14.05)
  • Rear Bauna (l; 1.55 km), north-eastern source stream, coming from Kaulenberg , confluence in Hoof (km 14.05)
    • Rehgraben (l; 1.7 km), tributary of the Hinterer Bauna, coming from Hohen Gras (km 0.95)

leisure

In the valley of the Bauna runs a section of the Kassel-Naumburg Railway , which crosses the stream twice and on which the Hessencourrier Museum Railway operates, part of the Hessencourrier Cycle Path and the Baunapfad , the hiking trail that leads from the source to the mouth of the stream. Its source streams are crossed by the Ederseeweg , Habichtswaldsteig and Kassel-Steig , and the stream itself is crossed by the Herkulesweg .
