The Klengelgraben is a brook on the parish of Parthenstein and Naunhof in Saxony .

course

The stream that rises on the western slope of the Curtswald east of Klinga (municipality of Parthenstein) is initially called Hohlbachsgraben (on some maps also Klengelgraben). It flows first to the southwest, then turns to the west and crosses the state road S 45. Shortly before the Parthenstein part of the municipality Großsteinberg am See it turns to the north and is called Klengelgraben from here on.

  • Klengelgraben bed just before Lake Naunhofer

  • Pipe outlet at Lake Naunhofer

After he has reached the urban area of ​​Naunhof on Klingaer Straße, he enters the Naunhof-Brandiser Forest. After about one and a half kilometers and passing an artificially created trench, it seeps into the forest floor.

But this only applies to normal water flow. When the water volume increases, an overflow threshold ensures that it enters its old river bed, which leads to Lake Naunhofer (Grillensee). The water is directed to the embankment through a pipeline under the circular lake path.

history

Before the gravel mining for the construction of the A 14 motorway began east of Naunhof in the 1960s , the Klengelgraben ran over this site and was interrupted by the embankment of a dam made of excavated material in preparation for gravel mining. The remaining three kilometers of the trench, which had continued in a northwesterly direction to flow east of Albrechtshain into the Lazy Parthe , fell dry . The dry ditch can still be seen in the forest. The Naunhofer See was created from the gravel pit.

A flood event in 2011 meant that the forest floor could no longer absorb the seepage and a leisure center in the north of Naunhof was flooded. As a result, the infiltration area was relocated by a dam and a new section of trench and the overflow into the old river bed up to Lake Naunhofer was established.
