The Hubertusquelle or Hubertusbrunnen is a karst spring near Oberkochen on the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg .
description
The year-round bulk end Hubertus source is located at about 570 m above sea level. NHN southwest of Oberkochen in the 3 km long, approximately east-south-east moving and designated as a landscape protection area Tiefental or Tiefes Tal . The dry Obertal continuation, which is about another 2 km long and runs south-east and which is mostly outside the protected area, is called Hagental . Hundreds of thousands of years ago the valley train headed south towards the breakthrough valley of the Ur-Brenz through the Swabian Alb , which at that time began its course further north.
The water of the karst spring arises at the layer boundary between the Lacunosamergel Formation and the Lower Limestone Formation of the White Jura (formerly: White Jura γ and δ). The spring lies below a forest path and feeds a 15 m wide spring pond a few meters away. The flowing stream runs on the left edge of the valley to the southeast and seeps away after a few hundred meters in the karst gravel bed of the Tiefental, for example at the junction of the hiking trail leading to Wollenloch and a small bend in the valley. When the water level rises , this water reaches the Fleinsquelle at the lower end of the valley near the main European watershed . Today the Tiefental drains superficially to the Kocher , but in the depths it still drains to the Brenz .
