The Bleichenbach is a 22 km long left and eastern tributary of the Nidder .

geography

course

The Bleichenbach rises in the Vogelsberg at an altitude of about 400  m above sea level. NHN northeast of Gedern- Wenings.

It flows mainly in a west-southwest direction and finally flows north of Glauburg -Glauberg at an altitude of about 124  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the Nidder.

On the route of about 22 kilometers, the stream overcomes a height difference of about 276 m. It has an average bottom slope of about 12 ‰.

Catchment area

The 39.1 km² catchment area is drained to the North Sea via the Nidder, Nidda , Main and Rhine rivers.

The highest, the highest elevation is the Kernberg at 459.6  m above sea level. NHN .

The mountainous areas are almost entirely forested and the floodplains are predominantly characterized by pastures.

The Bleichenbach flows through the following villages:

character

The Bleichenbach is a silicate low mountain range. Its catchment area covers 39.1 km². On its way from the source to the mouth it has a gradient of about 202 m. Its slopes are mostly relatively steep. While its upper reaches characterize forest areas, its floodplains are mainly used for agriculture, with pastures on the middle course and arable land on the lower course. Below the village of Bleichenbach, its course is relatively straightened and expanded.

Water quality

In its course, the Bleichenbach is used as a rubbish dump and rubbish dump, which severely affects the quality of the water; in some areas it is rated 3 to 4. It is therefore far removed from near-natural water with a water quality ≤ 2. The upper reaches in particular are in poor ecological condition.
