geography

course

The Gonderbach rises in the southwest of the urban area of Bad Laasphe and the Wittgensteiner Bergland in the southeast part of the Rothaargebirge. Its source is about 350 m east-northeast of the mountain summit of the Kompass ( 694.1  m ), 2.7 km southwest of the center of Bernshausen , 1.9 km northeast of Jagdberg and 1.7 km east-southeast of Heiligenborn . It is located at about 654  m above sea level. NHN ; The Bernshausen Bach rises 400 m to the northeast .

Initially, the Gonderbach flows in a south-easterly direction and feeds a pond after about 750 m. Then it makes a slight bend to the northeast and feeds another small pond near the former Gonderbach mine . Then he makes a bend to the east and passes the Burgberg mountain to the north ( castle ; 563.2  m ).

After passing the Fischelbacher Mühle and the forester's house Burg , the Gonderbach then crosses under the state road  728. Shortly afterwards, at around 408  m above sea level, it joins the Lahn tributary, the Banfe (Fischelbach) , coming from the south , which is 2.4 km long. About 200 m northeast of the estuary in the Großer Bohnstein nature reserve beyond the Fischelbach is the summit of the Großer Bohnstein ( 500.5  m ). The mouth is also located 1 km north-northwest from the center of the stream on the upstream Fischelbach village Fischelbach and 1.5 km west-southwest from the center of the Hesselbach located village Hesselbach ; both are Bad Laaspher districts.

Natural allocation

The Gonderbach flows in the main natural unit group Süderbergland (No. 33) and in the main unit Rothaargebirge (with Hochsauerland ) (333) through the natural area Ederkopf-Lahnkopf-Ridge (333.01) belonging to the subunit Dill-Lahn-Eder source area (333.0 ) and then through the subunit Südwittgensteiner Bergland ( Wittgensteiner Lahnbergland ; 333.2).

Catchment area and tributaries

The catchment area of the Gonderbach is 3.866 km² and mostly forested. The southern border of the area corresponds in sections to the course of the district road  36, which leads from Sohl in the west to Fischelbach in the east. The highest mountain is the compass ( 694.1  m ). Only rivulets flow to the stream .

Gonderbach pit

The Gonderbach pit (formerly Friedrichshoffnung ) is named after the Gonderbach, and was located in the Gonderbachtal on the southern slope of the Laykopf ( 660.8  m ) at around 470  m . The ore mine was operated from 1350 to 1939.
