geography

course

The Faulenbach rises in the Dürbheimer Moor , about one kilometer west of the municipality of Dürbheim on the municipal boundary to Balgheim , which lies on the other side of the European main watershed , around which the headwaters of the Neckar tributary Prim lies. The Faulenbach flows south in a wide valley, crosses the village of Rietheim and passes the village of Weilheim in the municipality of Rietheim-Weilheim on the eastern edge . It then reaches Wurmlingen . There it flows south of the town center after 8.0 km from the left into the Elta, which joins the Danube just two kilometers further down.

Catchment area

Large parts of the stream and the eastern part of the mostly narrower, 28.4 km² catchment area on this side lie in the Upper Danube Nature Park . The largest part of the natural area belonging to the subunit Baar-Alb and Upper Danube Valley of the Swabian Alb lies in water protection areas. On the north-eastern edge there is a strip of the Dürbheimer Berg protected landscape area . The 54 hectare nature reserve Dürbheimer Moor encompasses the valley from in front of the Egelsee to the old fish ponds south of Dürbheim.
