geography

course

The Lampertsbach has its source in the Ahreifel as Frömmelsbach . The source is located east of Esch in Rhineland-Palatinate at an altitude of around 539  m .

From here the stream flows in an easterly direction and soon passes the border to North Rhine-Westphalia . It flows through the nature reserve Lampertstal and Alendorfer Kalktrifte with Fuhrbach and Mackental in the area of ​​the municipality Blankenheim . From the mouth of the Odenbach (km 7.6) near Alendorf , where the creek passes the Kalvarienberg ( 522.8  m ), it is called Lampertsbach. As such, it flows northeast through the Lamperstal and flows east of Hüngersdorf and north of Dollendorf at an altitude of about 358  m into the Rhine tributary Ahr coming there from the north-west .

Catchment area and tributaries

The 28,071 km² catchment area is drained to the North Sea via the Ahr and Rhine .

Notes on the table

  1. ↑ Water code number , in Germany the official river code number with a separator inserted after the prefix for better readability, which stands uniformly for the Lampertsbach receiving water that is common to all .
  2. ↑ In the GeoExplorer of the Rhineland-Palatinate Water Management Authority ( notes ), the Wammesbach is given as the source river of the Lampertsbach, not the Frömmelsbach, so the waterway indicators also differ.

Others

Plate stream shrinkage

The Lampertsbach has a special feature: a so-called stream shrinkage . The subsoil under a bridge is so rugged that a large part of the water flows downwards. When the water level is low, the stream "disappears" completely.
