The Kocher-Jagst plains are a natural area of the Neckar and Tauber-Gäuplatten (main unit 12) in the south-west German layer level country . You have number 126 in the systematics of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany .
Natural structure

- 126 Kocher-Jagst levels
- 126.1 Neudenauer Hill
- 126.2 Jagsttal
- 126.20 Lower Jagsttal
- 126.21 Middle Jagsttal
- 126.3 Kocher Valley
- 126.30 Lower Kocher Valley

Adjacent natural areas are:
- Hohenloher and Haller level (No. 127) in the south and east
- Building land (No. 128) in the northwest
- Tauberland (No. 129) in the north
geology
The area is characterized by the two main bodies of water, the Kocher and Jagst . Their flood-prone valleys are essentially divided into two sections: In the area of a tectonic bulge in the central part, the valleys are deeply buried by the entire Muschelkalk , the side waters have a steep gradient and have clear gravel compartments. In the peripheral areas, the valleys are less deeply buried in the main shell limestone and form loops, rocky impact slopes and surrounding mountains .
As part of the north-eastern Gäuplatten, the Kocher-Jagst Plains occupy a middle position between the Heckengäu landscapes of the Tauberland and the Korngäu landscapes of the Hohenloher-Haller Plain. From west to east, the surface area increases from 250 m to 450 m. The western, lower part is partially covered with loess. On the plateaus the Lettenkeuper has partly survived in heavily ragged riedeln .
