geography

The Edelbach below its source

The Edelbach rises in the forest at the foot of the Eselshöhe mountain ridge below the Edelberg (477 m), between its two northern foothills, the Sommerberg (466 m) and the Ölberg (461 m). The sources of the Edelbach are located in the 130 m deep notched ring ground on the left side of the slope. The main source is located on the boundary to the community-free area Schöllkrippener Forst , below the Kleinkahler nature park hiking trail (K2). The above-ground catchment area of the Edelbach is around four square kilometers and extends up to the Spessart-Höhenstraße . The Ringgrund is dry from there to the source .

The Edelbach runs parallel to the AB 20 district road to the northwest. After about 250 m, on which it flows down almost 20 meters in altitude, it leaves the forest. There it is reinforced by a larger spring at a forest house and the stream from the Kafloos spring . In the Edelbach district, which belongs to Kleinkahl , it is crossed by the Degen-Weg , absorbs the water from other springs and used to drive two mills there. North of the sawmill , opposite the water treading facility , it crosses under the Kahltal-Spessart cycle path and flows into the Kahl .
