The Kirschensoog is a periodic karst spring in the Harz foreland in Lower Saxony .
location
The Kirschensoog is located between Alt Wallmoden and Neuwallmoden in the immediate vicinity of the course of the Neile , a tributary of the Innerste .
Data
The exit point of the cherry suction is located in an approximately 4 to 5 meter deep and approximately 35 meter wide depression. The average discharge from the spring is 220 liters per second. The Kirschensoog is dry for most of the year and only carries water after prolific summer thunderstorms and after the snow has melted. The kind of spring is also known as a famine well . It was examined in 1988 by the Geographical Institute of the University of Göttingen . Measurements showed a sudden, very strong increase in the bed from 22.1 l / s to 416.0 l / s. The highest runoff during the entire study period was 963.3 liters per second and took place after the snow melted .
geology
After heavy storms, the water in the Alt Wallmoden waterworks can be determined to be cloudy. With a time delay of about five hours, there is an increase in the volume in the cherry swamp. This is a pressure wave, triggered by large amounts of new inflows in the karst system ( Langelsheim-Baddeckestedter Gerinne ), which rushes ahead of the water in the cave-like widened channel system and thus led to an increase in the bed. The Kirschensoog thus represents an "open window" of the karst channel to the surface of the earth and thus acts as a pressure relief valve . During the largest pouring events, it was found that from a pouring of the cherry suction over 700 liters per second, water escapes from a row of springs directly next to the Neile in a field. This water clearly came from the karst channel, as could be shown by chemical analyzes.
