geography

Braunsel springs

One of 32 springs in the Braunsel

Like the Blau , Brenz and Aach, the Braunsel rises as a karst spring on the edge of the Emeringen mountain forest. The 32 springs can temporarily pour up to 1,500 liters per second (average 400 l / s). Most of the water comes from the Lauter infiltration points between Indelhausen and Lauterach . The entire catchment area of ​​the springs probably extends further beyond the Great Lautertal .

course

The approximately 6 meters wide, clear source river flows through the nature reserve of the same name and flows into the Danube at the foot of the Hochwarthfelsen . When there is a flood, the two rivers combine to form a lake.

natural reserve

The Braunsel has been specially protected since 1991. A 40.2 hectare area in the Emeringen and Rechtenstein districts was declared a Braunsel nature reserve by the Tübingen regional council .
