The Brühne , also called Hagemecke in the upper reaches , is an almost 7.8 km long, northern and orographically left tributary of the Orke in the urban area of Medebach in the North Rhine-Westphalian Hochsauerlandkreis ( Germany ).

course

The broth rises in the northeastern foothills of the Rothaargebirge . Its source is in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature park around 2.8 km (as the crow flies ) north-northeast of the center of Medebach's town center and 150 m west of the state road  854, which runs south from Oberschledorn past the Langeln and Hooren farms and then on to the L 617 ( Hillershausen –Medebach– Medelon ) leads. It is located between the wooded elevations Winterkopf ( 524.9  m ) in the southwest and Valshagenberg ( 504.8  m ) in the east at around 465  m above sea level. NHN .

Initially, the Brühne, which runs entirely in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park and in the agricultural area along the Aarstruth forest to the east , crosses under the L 854, then passes Hooren to the east and then crosses under the L 617 in a south-easterly direction. Then the Harbecke, which comes from the direction of Medebach, joins the creek, which from then on flows southwards . From now on, the Brühne runs east parallel to the Medebach , which runs along the L 740 that runs from Medebach to the Westphalian - North Hessian border near Münden , and also parallel to the Wilden Aa , a little further east ; both are also Orke tributaries.

A little further south , shortly after crossing under the L 740, below the Polter and Niedermühle near the Orke, near the Orke kilometer 18.45 at around 347  m above sea level, the Eder tributary Orke coming from the north-west ; The Medebach- Berge sewage treatment plant is located opposite its mouth to the south and thus beyond the Orke .

Catchment area and tributaries

The catchment area of the Brühne is 15.506 km². Its tributaries include, with orographic allocation (l = left-hand side, r = right-hand side) , water length , mouth location with Brühne brook kilometers - if known - catchment area size (viewed downstream) .

  • Kortenbeck (r; 1.5 km; below Hooren ; at / near km 6.15)
  • Harbecke (r; 7.8 km; some below Hooren; at km 3.4; 7.845 km²)

Natural allocation

The Brühne flows in the natural spatial main unit group Süderbergland (No. 33), in the main unit Ostsauerland Gebirgsrand (332) and in the subunit Medebacher Bucht (332.4) through the natural areas Inclined Plane of Medebach (332.40) and Münder Grund (332.42), whereby on Middle and lower reaches of the natural area Aarstruth (332.34) borders to the east.

Protected areas

Apart from an upstream section close to the source, the Brühne flows almost entirely in the Brühnetal nature reserve ( CDDA no. 318249; designated 2002; 90 hectares), and only a lower section near the mouth runs in the NSG Orketal (CDDA no. 318918; 1999; 1.98 km² ). Landscape protection areas on the brook are the LSG Medebach (CDDA no. 345073; 1983; 44.68 km²), LSG Medebacher core area: spring hollows, lowland areas and flat slopes (CDDA no. 345074; 2004; 8.92 km²) and LSG cultural landscape complex Medelon ( CDDA No. 345054; 1983; 82 ha). The brook flows in the European bird sanctuary Medebacher Bucht (VSG no. 4717-401; 138.72 km²) and mostly in the fauna-flora-habitat area of ​​the Glindfeld-Orketal forest reserve (with side valleys) (FFH no. 4817-304; 29 , 97 km²).

Traffic and walking

The upper reaches of the Brühne crosses under the state road  854, which leads south from Oberschledorn to the L 617 ( Hillershausen –Medebach– Medelon ) which crosses the stream . A little west of the Unterlauf runs in the direction of the Medebach and parallel to it the L 740, which, coming from Medebach, leads to the Westphalian-North Hessian border and crosses the Brühne near the mouth. You can hike along the stream on several field and forest paths.
