geography
Boiler source
The Kesselquelle, sometimes just called the Kessel , is located on the western outskirts of Zwiefalten in the lower Tobeltal. It is a karst spring with a bluish shimmering spring pot that pours an average of 700 l / s (minimum 350 l / s and maximum 1,570 l / s). Part of the spring water is fed into the Alb water supply . The 22 meter wide and four meter deep spring pot is under nature protection and is completely fenced . The water that once flowed through the Tobeltal cave a little over half a kilometer further up in the Tobeltal has paved a new path to the Kesselquelle over the millennia.
course
Less than 50 meters below its source, the Kesselbach takes in the Tobelbach, together with its upper course Flözenbach , 4.6 km long, which first runs north, later northeast and sometimes falls dry in summer. The Kesselbach itself first flows to the northeast, then bends towards the east-southeast and flows into the Zwiefalter Aach opposite the Zwiefalten monastery .
On the other hand, Zwiefalter Aach and Kessel-Aach merged into Aach on old maps . Even today, a sign at the confluence indicates how the place name Zwiefalten came from:
- Confluence of the twofold Aach = Zwiefaltach = Zwiefalten
Tributaries
- Tobelbach (left, dry at times) , 4.6 km
