The Kappis blade is a nearly one kilometer long forest blade on the edge of the Bühlertal near the hamlet of Oberscheffach in the town of Ilshofen in the Schwäbisch Hall district in northeastern Baden-Württemberg . The almost three kilometers long, named after her brook through the Kappisklinge flows in the hamlet from the right and altogether about east into the lower Bühler .

geography

course

The stream through the Kappisklinge begins its course at about 413  m above sea level. NHN at the Aussiedlerhof in the Gewann Schmerleib west of the village of Großaltdorf in the small town of Vellberg as a long straight ditch that runs in its natural hollow. It starts next to a field path coming from the north-northwest from the Gewann Rappelsee .

The creek ditch initially runs without trees or bushes on the bank and surrounded by large fields from west-south-west to west through the Sümpfle and Heiligenwiese tubs , in which it finally changes after about one and a quarter kilometers to the suburb of Unteraspach von Ilshofen. A little later and only a stone's throw to the right of the ditch edge, there is an old sheep house on the L 2603 from Unteraspach, which he crosses under and which, after crossing with the K 2655, continues to the left of the stream to Kerleweck.

From there, the stream, which is now closely accompanied by the last-mentioned county road, shows a natural character with small changes in direction and, for the first time, wood on the course. Its trough sole is now only about 385  m above sea level. NHN and about 25 meters in altitude below the ridges on the right and left. Under orchards and pastures on the slopes, it flows between the hamlet of Großstadel on the right and the Hof Kleinstadel on the left, both of which are on the upper slope. Then it immediately enters its narrow, northwest-turning lower flow gorge Kappisklinge , in which forest covers the steep middle and upper slopes, while next to the stream running steeply downhill over shell limestone banks and the tightly accompanying, now quite narrow county road, often several meters high Rising rock, from which rubble sometimes falls into the stream bed and onto the road after the winter frosty period. At one point the stream rushes over a slightly larger waterfall.

The lower Kappis blade widens again and has earthy valley flanks again down to the stream. Between the two branches of the Steigenstraße to the K 2667, which leads from this place further down into the lower Bühlertal, the brook now re-enters the hamlet of Oberscheffach from Ilshofen as a straight ditch , crosses under this district road and flows shortly afterwards at house no 4 at about 290  m above sea level. NHN from the right into the lower Bühler .

The brook through the Kappisklinge flows after a 2.8 km long run with an average bottom gradient of 45 ‰ about 123 meters in altitude below its beginning. About two thirds of the total gradient is accounted for by the last few kilometers of running from the beginning of the steep Kappisklinge.

Catchment area

The brook through the Kappisklinge has a catchment area of ​​around 1.7 km², which in natural terms belongs to the sub- area of ​​the Haller Plain of the Hohenloher and Haller Plains . It is highest in the east, where it is a little over 415  m above sea level on some flat hills . Reached NHN .

The area beyond the northern watershed drains to the Schmerach , the next right Bühler tributary, mostly via the Finsterbach, which reaches it from the left at the bottom . In the east, south-east and south the Aalenbach , also fed by its right tributaries Razenbach and Mühlenbach , runs the drain on the other side in front of the Kappisklinge to the Bühler, in the south and south-west the catchment area of ​​the smaller Bühler tributary Binsenwiesenbach pushes in between.

The plateau down to the two barns and beyond on both sides of the blade incision down to the side spurs is almost completely under the plow. The forest share, significantly less than 10% of the catchment area, is limited to the Kappisklinge. The eastern part of the catchment area with the Aussiedlerhof at the beginning of the ditch in Schmerleib belongs to the Großaltdorf district of the small town of Vellberg , the western part with the hamlet of Großstadel and the Hof Kleinstadel on both sides above the beginning of the Kappisklinge, this itself and the hamlet of Oberscheffach are in the Unteraspach district of the small town of Ilshofen . There are no other settlement areas in the catchment area.

Origin of the stream through the Kappisklinge at about 413  m above sea level. NHN at the Aussiedlerhof in the Gewann Schmerleib west of the village of Großaltdorf von Vellbaerg . The stream initially flows west-southwest.

  • (Trench inlet), from the right and north-northeast to about 395  m above sea level. NHN little in front of the sheep house, over 0.2 km and under 0.1 km². Arises at about 392  m above sea level. NHN and flows on the city limits from Vellberg to Ilshofen .
  • ( Seitenklingenbach vom Kappisberg ), from the right and east-northeast in the lower Kappisklinge shortly before Ilshofen-Oberscheffach, approx. 0.2 km and less than 0.2 km². Arises at about 380  m above sea level. NHN at the upper edge of the Klingenwald to the Steigenäckern .

Mouth of the stream through the Kappisklinge from to about 290  m above sea level. NHN to the right and, last but not least, to the east in Ilshofen- Oberscheffach at house no. 4 in the street Talaue from the right and overall east into the lower Bühler . The stream is 2.8 km long and has a catchment area of ​​around 1.7 km².

geology

The stream through the Kappisklinge rises in the Quaternary deposited loess sediment and after half a kilometer reaches the gypsum keuper layer ( grave field formation ) that supports it; from there to the beginning of its underflow blade it runs in a strip of alluvial land of varying widths. The underlying Lettenkeuper stratum ( Erfurt formation ) begins in the Heiligenwiese in front of the old sheep house, the stream remains at its level until the beginning of its underflow blade, roughly at the foot of the nobility. In this it cuts steeply into the Upper Muschelkalk . Only in the Mündungsweiler Oberscheffach does it cross a narrow band of Middle Muschelkalks on the lowest slope of the Bühlertal, which only begins to spread out a little before the hamlet and is covered by the alluvial fan of the stream at the blade outlet. Finally it ends in the Auenlehmband around the Bühler.

Several sub-layers of the upper shell limestone are well exposed in the kappis blade. At the beginning of it, a conspicuously angular, small side bay with vertical rock walls indicates an earlier shell limestone quarry.

Nature and protected areas

The valley basin up to the old sheep house has been cleared and almost cleared. Along the field path at the origin in the Rappelsee there is a planted field hedge and also along the K 2655, which accompanies the creek ditch a little below the origin at a distance of less than 200 meters on the left, there is a hedge that is partly crowned with trees and interrupted several times. At the Schafhaus the stream enters the Bühlertal nature reserve between Vellberg and Geislingen with side valleys and adjacent areas , which also includes small parts of the valley basin at the foot of Groß- and Kleinstadel and then the entire Kappisklinge down to the outskirts of Oberscheffach.
