The Ittlinger Bach , locally also called Ittling , is the approximately two and a half kilometers long left source brook of the Schnaittach . Some see "Ittlinger Bach" and "Ittling" only as a tributary of the "Schnaittach" .

geography

course

The Ittling rises south of the Simmelsdorf village of Ittling a little above the Ittlinger Mühle in a valley that has already been clearly cut, runs to the southwest and is forested up to a narrow flood plain. There are two sources, the farthest from the mouth rises at about 440  m above sea level. NHN . Immediately thereafter, the course divides into two branches, the one that initially runs on the left side of the valley road is fed by another spring on the lower slope at around 445  m above sea level. Fed by NHN . Opposite the Ittlinger mill, which will soon follow, through whose grounds both branches then run, there is a large quarry in the Weißjura limestone, which is largely covered by trees.

The branches reunite, and further down the Ittling runs through two mill hamlets in the municipality, Ober- and Unterachtel. Half a dozen small fish ponds lie between the last pair of branches, and a few more follow below Unterachtel. Then the Ittling flows from the left and, last of all, east to over 395  m above sea level. NHN merges with the Naifer zur Schnaittach , which crosses the village of Diepoltsdorf in the municipality a little downhill on the south-west course.

Through the valley from Ittling to the district road LAU 2, which is also called Achtelstraße here .

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Ittlinger Bach is about 12.4 km² and extends more than 5.5 km from the rocky summit of the Hühnerstein ( 598  m above sea level ), southwest to the mouth. In its upper area there are only dry valleys, the stream only begins far down after the eponymous village Ittling. The 635  m above sea level. NHN highest point is on the eastern watershed on the rocky summit of the Hohen Reut, east of the Betzenstein village of Spies; some other peaks also tower over 600  m above sea level. NHN on.

There are no open competitors for the upper catchment area, so that the runoff in the local karst underground could perhaps run in different directions than the surrounding dry valleys suggest, namely northwest and north of the catchment area in northern directions to the Trubach ; east of it about southeast to the Regnitz , partly also south over the Sittenbach . Further down in the area of ​​the brook, near the confluence with the Schnaittach, the easteroher brook feeding it is briefly the southeastern competitor, the right upper course of which Naifer Bach is longer the western one.

places

The Ittling flows successively through the following places:

  • Ittlinger mill
  • Oberachtel (hamlet)
  • Unterachtel (hamlet)
  • Wachsteinhaus (single house, at the mouth of the Brünstberg to the Naifertal)

They all belong to the municipality of Simmelsdorf in the district of Nürnberger Land . Other places in the catchment area are the village of Ittling von Simmelsdorf, as well as part of the village of Bernhof in the neighboring market of Schnaittach to the southeast . In the area of ​​the city of Betzenstein in the Bayreuth district , the village of Spies and the hamlet of Schermshöhe lie within the watershed.

geology

The largest part of the catchment area lies in the Weißjura , in which the Ittlinger Bach rises, which reaches the Braunjura below the Tttlinger Mühle , in which it also flows. From the northern catchment area border a long wedge of a layer island of the Upper Cretaceous protrudes far south to almost Ittlingen, at an altitude well below the White Jura ridges on the western and eastern borders.
