Brünststrasse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brünststraße is a not quite 5 km long high-altitude trail in the Limpurger Mountains north of Sulzbach am Kocher in north-western Baden-Württemberg .

General

The Brünststrasse mostly runs on the flat and completely wooded ridge between the valleys of the Irsbach in the east and the Eisbach in the west in the south-western part of the Limpurger Mountains, to whose watershed it adheres very closely.

The forest road is 3.6 km from its beginning in the north of Sulzbach to almost the Aigeltinger Linde on the municipal area of ​​Sulzbach-Laufen, the remaining kilometer on that of Obersontheim . Between the long first section of it and the valley road along the Eisbach in the west, the extensive forest area of Obersontheimer Brünst extends over its left-hand blades and its left slope down to the Eisbach.

course

The Brünststraße begins on the northern edge of Sulzbach am Kocher as a right junction from the Eisbachstraße, which runs northwest in the valley of the Eisbach , at about 355  m above sea level. NN . For its first 0.8 km, it climbs the slope of the mountain ridge, which is halfway up, between the valleys of the Eisbach and the Irsbach, which flows into it a little south of here, from the Eisbach side and then continues the remaining climb in the forest. Almost at the top of the plateau between the valleys, the feeder road branches off to the right to Sulzbacher Hof Brünst , which sits enthroned on its southern spur above the converging valleys. After the ascent, the Brünststraße , still a public driveway, but no longer asphalted and dusty, runs up to its end in an imperceptible gradient of about 30 m on a 3 km route northwest to north. After a total of 2.5 km that lies on the western side of the road Brünsthütte with a water-filled ponds, the original purpose of the organization as Kohlplatz displays. After almost four kilometers, the road passes the Aigeltinger Linde on a forest path that crosses it and on which a hiking trail runs . After a total of 4.6 km it finally flows, finally paved again, in a northerly direction at about 509  m above sea level. NN into the coal road that runs here from northwest to southeast .

Beyond this, the route of the Brünststraße continues as a public forest road that is now paved throughout, which, after descending from the height of the Limpurger Mountains , reaches the Obersontheim hamlet of Engelhofen about 2.2 km further .

Landscape and view

From halfway up the climb at Sulzbach, the Brünststrasse runs consistently in flat forest, mostly it is mixed forest. From Hof ​​Brünst a little to the east after the initial ascent, there is a good view of the valley landscape at its feet.
