The Sauklingenbach is an approximately 1.3 km long brook in the Einkornwald of the city of Schwäbisch Hall in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the uppermost ("old") Fischach after passing through the so-called Bombensee from the right and west .

geography

course

The Sauklingenbach arises at the beginning of a blade crack in loamy layers of the upper Mittelkeuper next to the Brunnenhaldensträßle forest path , about 200 meters after its eastern exit from the K 2599 Hessental - Obersontheim -Herlebach at the point where the opposite at a larger forest car park on the other side Kohlstrasse branches off. About 150 meters further north from this district road, parallel to Brunnenhaldensträßle, a forest path that can be misunderstood as Sauklingensträßle branches off, but which mostly runs beyond the watershed in the neighboring cliff of the Fischach itself.

Accompanied by the Brunnenhaldenstrasse at a growing distance on the right of the slope, the brook meanders through the Altspöck part of the Einkorn Forest, which is largely made up of spruce trees , with a few short tributaries reaching it from the right slope in particular. Later, alders and other vegetation typical of water bodies also show up on its banks. After a run of about one kilometer, the creek crosses under the Sauklingenstrasse, which now runs south, at the edge of the path upwards the creek often accumulates to a loamy pool and after heavy rain it can even flow over the path, on the other side of which it enters a swampy inlet area of ​​the locally so-called bomb lakes occurs.

The name Bombensee actually covers two lakes of 1.0 hectare, separated by a narrow strip of land, which lie in a clearing almost ten times the size of wide, uncut, tall grass areas, lined with and occasionally interrupted by hedges and groups of trees. The lower part of the lake, which is about twice as large, is dammed on the eastern edge with an earth dam. The 0.5 km long Tannenbach flows into it from the Tannenbühl in the south , the last and by far the longest of the tributaries from the right slope, which reaches the lake at the intersection of Brunnenhaldensträßle and Sauklingensträßle.

Below the concreted lake outlet, over which a footbridge on the dam path spans, the Sauklingenbach runs almost a hundred meters eastward in a flat, straight ditch through loose broken forest, then after a total of 1.3 km it flows from the right into the uppermost one coming from the northwest or "Alte" Fischach , which even here is only 1.7 km long.

Catchment area

The approximately 0.7 km² catchment area is naturally located in the northernmost part of the Limpurger Berge sub-area (No. 108.60) of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains (No. 108). Its highest part on the west side on the narrow plateau of the Limpurger Mountains reaches heights of about 495  m above sea level. NHN .

The watershed on this side is also the most important hydrologically, because the outlying area drains steeply downwards to the Remsbach , a not very long direct tributary of the Kocher , while the water of the two competitors rivals - the headwaters of the Fischach itself beyond the northern and hers Lembach flowing a little further downwards beyond the southern watershed - only a long detour over the river reached the Kocher.

The whole area is in the middle of the Einkorn Forest in the area of ​​the city of Schwäbisch Hall . In the area of ​​the lakes mentioned, it also includes a large part of the clearing surrounding them. There is no settlement anywhere.

Lakes and tributaries

  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgFlows through the bomb lake , two parts, together 1.0 ha.
  • Tannenbach , from the right to over 435  m above sea level. NHN in the lower of the lakes, 0.5 km. Arises in Tannenbühl at below 455  m above sea level. NHN .

geology

In the catchment area, which lies on the inside on the northern edge of the Keuperbergland , there are middle Keup layers everywhere . The stream starts in a regional typical small clay blade in the boundary area between the silica sand stone ( Hassberge formation ) of the plateau and the underlying lower Bunte marls ( Steigerwald formation ). Then it crosses a comparatively wide reed sandstone band ( Stuttgart formation ). The remainder of the course to the mouth is in the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld formation ). The course of the stream follows a disturbance moving from west to east with the deeper clod in the south, which has been proven up to the beginning of the gypsum keuper.

Nature and history

As with the Namensquellast of Fischach whose right Quellast is the Sauklingenbach, include the catchment area covering forests almost entirely for protective forest Altspöck in the forest district Vellberg, its peripheral areas to Schonwald einkorn.

Until the 1970s, large parts of the forest were fenced in and signs warned against entering because the military had practiced bombing here before and during the Second World War and therefore duds scattered around the area had to be expected. The clearing around the two lakes emerged from the target area known as the bombing site, which is now a protected biotope and, at least in parts, can no longer be entered. There is no prohibition sign at the entrance to the lake dam; from its northern part one has a good view over the alder-lined lower lake, over whose bank area dragonflies stand in summer. A protected biotope is also the source and the natural course of the Tannenbach, which flows into the lower Bombensee .

leisure

A little beyond the western watershed follows the long-distance hiking trail Main-Neckar-Rhein-Weg (main hiking trail 3, symbol Green Tree) of the Swabian Alb Association on its section from Einkorn to Hirschfelden . At the hiking car park at the beginning of the unused coal road, a path marked with a red cross branches off to the east, which runs on the lower right slope of the Sauklinge and then a little south past the Hehlberg to Dörrenzimmern and Vellberg .
