geography

Thosmühlequelle

The Thosbach rises from a karst spring at the Thosmühle . It is a small spring pot that pours several hundred liters of water per second . The spring is one of the strongest karst springs in the northern Franconian Jura and is located in the private fenced area of ​​the Thosmühle fish farm. The stream is used as a feed line for the fish ponds.

The source is identified by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment as geotope 474Q003. See also the list of geotopes in the Forchheim district .

course

As Thosmühlbach, it flows in a south-westerly direction to Urspring . There it picks up the somewhat longer Altenthalbach coming from the east-southeast and bends to the west. In the further course he bears the name Thosbach. In Wannbach it branches out several times and finally flows in a south-westerly direction into the Trubach, which flows there north-west .
