Beaver spring

The source of the beaver spring

At the northwest end of Langenenslingen the Biberbach rises in a karst spring . The bluish shimmering spring pot is privately owned by the Upper Mill. It has a diameter of approx. 20 m. The water comes from the level of the cement marl of the Weißjura . The artesian groundwater occurs with a bed of 80 l / s to 560 l / s to light. The fill was enough to operate a mill since at least the 13th century. Today the source is used for private electricity generation .

course

Already in Langenenslingen the Biberbach gets its first inflow from the Karstbach Langwatte , which comes from the west in the foothills of the Swabian Alb . Following its main eastward direction of flow, the stream now crosses the Andelfingen district and receives further inflow through the Soppenbach with the Holzbach . The third tributary, the Altbach , comes from the north between Andelfingen and Altheim . In Altheim the Biberbach bends south and then flows in an arc to the north from the left into the Danube, 9.1 km below its source.
