geography
course
The Lüßgraben rises at an altitude of 428 m above sea level. NN not far from the European main watershed on the western outskirts of Kattenhochstatt and not far from the source of the Hammerstadtgraben , which runs in the opposite direction and is still called Wöhrbach here . The Lüßgraben mainly flows along country lanes in an arc that is only slightly to the right, approximately to the west. It crosses under the district road WUG 3 . The Lüßgraben flows after a run of around three kilometers at an altitude of 411 m above sea level. NN northeast of Markt Berolzheim and southwest of Trommetsheim from the left into an old arm of the Altmühl. Not far opposite on the other side of the Altmühl, the Vorderer Graben flows into a side arm.
Catchment area
It covers around 5.0 km. The right watershed runs slowly from the mouth to the northwest, at last steeply over the slope called Eichelberg to the southern secondary peak of the Flüglinger Berg , which is 535 m above sea level. NN highest point in the catchment area. From here, the border slopes sharply southwards, through the Kattenberg in the flatlands and then up again to the ridge of the Trommetsheimer Berg ( 511 m above sea level ); this section is part of the European main watershed between the Danube on the Lüßbach and Rhine on the Wöhrbach side. The shorter left watershed falls back over the ridge to the mouth.
In terms of nature , the area in the east belongs to the Weimersheimer Platte , a fairly flat hill country, in the west on the lower reaches it is part of the almost flat Altmühl funnel around the Altmühl, both are sub-areas of the Weißenburg Bay and above the foreland of the Southern Franconian Alb . Black Jura is everywhere , with the exception of only the two mountains at the upper corners of the catchment area, which consist of Brown Jura . These are also made up of forest from the lower slopes upwards, while everywhere else the area is a wide open landscape that is almost everywhere under the plow.
The eastern part belongs to the district town of Weißenburg , the western part to the municipality of Alesheim .
