geography

Spring streams

The Glatt at the village Glatt downstream on the outskirts

Confluence of the Glatt coming from the left into the Neckar near Neckarhausen (flood situation)

The Glatt is being built in the name of the village of Aach , a district of Dornstetten . Here the left and northern upper reaches of Kübelbach flow together with the right Stockerbach coming from the northwest next to the Grüntaler Straße to the Glatt. Both branches are between 8 and 9 km long.

The main upper course of the Glatt is the slightly longer Kübelbach, whose own upper course up to the Silberwiesen in front of the first settlement area Dornstetten- Hallwangen is called Glattbach . The source of Glattbach / Kübelbach is about 717 m above sea level. NHN in the Stutzwald on the border between Dornstetten and Freudenstadt and is called Glattbrunnen . Glattbach and Kügelbach as a whole have only few significant tributaries.

The right upper course Stockerbach der Glatt, on the other hand, rises higher to about 753 m above sea level. NHN the Kratzenhartbrunnen , which is about 2 km west of the Glattbrunnen in the Reichenbacher Wald on Freudenstadt area. Some streams flow to him from the right, making his sub-catchment area about one and a half times as large as that of his partner on the left.

Even in Aach, the Glatt takes on the Ettenbach, which is only about 5 km long, from the right and west-northwest, just two hundred meters after its origin . ( 48 ° 28 '1 " N , 8 ° 28' 41" O )48.466969444444 8.4781388888889 Its catchment area but exceeds that of the Kübelbach a little, so as tub, Stocker- and Ettenbach commonly referred to as the three source branches be considered that bring together approaches, the smoothness.

course

The Glatt then flows in a south- easterly to south- westerly direction and takes in some tributaries, the major ones below all coming from the right, for example the second largest Lauter, which approaches from the west and flows into Glatten . On the section following its confluence, the Glatt runs through a very narrow and winding valley below Neuneck, about 170 meters below the summit of the wooded Schellenberg ( 640 m above sea level ). In Leinstetten , finally coming from the west, the by far largest Glatt tributary Heimbach flows , with its almost 25 km length its most important tributary.

About 2 km further down the valley, at the inlet of the small Zitzmannsbrunnenbach in Bettenhausen , the river turns left to east-north-east. On the almost 10 km long running route that follows, only a slightly more significant stream flows into it. Then the Glatt flows below the village of Glatt von Sulz am Neckar and opposite the Neckarhausen district of Horb am Neckar from the left into the upper Neckar .

Catchment area

The 234 km² catchment area of the Glatt has roughly the shape of a triangle with a western base of about 31 km through the eastern Black Forest. This longest side extends from the northern tip east of Baiersbronn- Klosterreichenbach in the Reichenbacher Wald near the Krähenhartbrunnen , from which the right Stockerbach spring stream rises, to the southern tip near Schramberg -Waldmössingen, which is close to the source of the largest tributary Heimbach. Across from this, the catchment area is not even just 17 km wide from this west side to the eastern tip at the mouth.

On the northeast side, the longest stretch of the catchment area borders on the Nagold , only recently towards the confluence with that of a less significant downstream Neckar tributary. Beyond the entire southeastern watershed, no major tributary runs to the nearby upstream Neckar. In the south and south-west, behind a short stretch of the catchment area boundary, the Eschach, which is roughly equivalent to the Eschach, flows to the Neckar. However, on most of the western watershed, the Kinzig then collects the water flowing to the other side. Only at the Schöllkopf between Loßburg and Freudenstadt is it replaced by the Murg , which initially competes via its right tributary Forbach . Since the large Black Forest rivers Kinzig and Murg flow directly into the Rhine, the western watershed is also a major watershed between the Neckar and the Rhine for almost its entire length.

The largest elevation in the catchment area is the aforementioned Schöllkopf , which is 843 m above sea level. Reached NHN , and at the eastern foot of which the second largest river, the Lauter, rises.

Tributaries and lakes

Of the tributaries, the most important is the Heimbach near Leinstetten about before the left bend of the Unterlaufes from the right into Leinstetten , which with its length of 24.5 km drains a partial catchment area of 77.5 km and thus almost a third of the Glatt catchment area. The Lauter , the second largest tributary with the richest catchment area , which flows into Glatten, is just 10.2 km long and has a drainage area of 32.6 km².

Infrastructure

The L 409 opens up the Glatt valley from Aach to Hopfau, followed by the K 5508 from Hopfau to Glatt. Hopfau and Glatt are also connected by a well-developed cycle path, which is part of the three-valley cycle path Neckar-Glatt-Kinzig.

Protected areas

For a large part of its length, the Glatt runs in protected landscape areas. Shortly after its origin, the landscape protection area No. 2.37.043 Oberes Glattal begins . It is located in the Freudenstadt district and has a size of 606 hectares .

After crossing into the Rottweil district , LSG No. 3.25.030 Glatt-Tal begins . It includes the slopes and valleys of the Glatttal in the districts of Leinstetten and Bettenhausen including the lowest Heimbach valley , the southern slopes of the Wühlsbach valley and the slopes of the lower Zitzmannsbrunnenbach valley. The location of Leinstetten is left out. The 700.9 hectare area was formed by ordinance of the then district office of Horb on September 21, 1970.

Between Bettenhausen and below Hopfau , the direct course of the Glatt is not in a protected area. Here, however, the valley slopes and the adjoining Dobeltal are designated under the number 3.25.029 as LSG Glatt- and Dobeltal . On April 1, 1969, the former district office of Horb designated this two-part area with around 680 hectares.

The last LSG through which the Glatt flows begins around two kilometers before the village of Glatt . It has the protected area number 3.25.028 and the name Diessental and parts of the Neckar and Glatt valleys . The Glatt flows into the Neckar in the 663 hectare protected area. The Hechingen district office at the time already established the protected area by ordinance of February 13, 1957.

The FFH area named Wiesen und Heiden an Glatt and Mühlbach (protected area number 7617341, 587.5 hectares), established by the Freiburg regional council on January 1, 2005 , partially overlaps the protected landscape areas between Glatt and Leinstetten.
