geography

The source of the Brodenbach lies in the north of the Buchholz district of Boppard at approx. 372  m above sea level. NN . From there it flows through a narrow valley in a predominantly westerly direction, without crossing any other villages. The narrowest section is known as the “Donnerloch”, a cascade group that has only been partially preserved for a forestry road since it was blown up in the 1960s. Only short watercourses flow into the Brodenbach on both sides. It flows in the north of the town of Brodenbach at 95  m above sea level. NN in the Moselle .

The 8.2 km long course of the river overcomes an average bed gradient of 45.4 ‰ 299 meters in altitude and drains an area of ​​15.674 km².

The entire Bachtal is only accessible to traffic through hiking trails and partially developed farm roads. The green mill on the middle of the stream is the only settlement.

On the narrow, shaded lower course there is a large occurrence of the very poisonous European yew on the slate rocky steep slopes . In the valley slopes, which are mainly overgrown with oak, the yew trees grow in particularly rocky, light-poor places.
