The Lindach is an almost 17 km long river in the Baden-Württemberg district of Esslingen , which rises on the Albtrauf of the Mittlerer Kuppenalb and after a first northern, then northwestern run through the foreland of the central Swabian Alb in Kirchheim unter Teck from right into the "Lenninger" Louder flows out. With a slightly shorter length, its above-ground catchment area at the confluence exceeds that of the Lauter.
geography
swell
The Lindach arises south of Neidlingen in the so-called Neidlinger Tal from the union of some spring streams that arise on the slope of the valley end. The source of the approximately 0.5 km long Pfannenbach is about 600 m above sea level. NN under the beginning of the Talkerbe. In its northern course, at the exit from the forest at the foot of the slope, it takes on an inlet from the left of the third forest , which even increases to over 710 m above sea level. NN arises. A little later, in the beginning of the Wiesentalgrund Pfanne, another 0.4 km long source stream runs to the right, which is about 400 meters southwest of the Reußenstein ruins at about 620 m above sea level. NN rises and then falls down the Neidlinger waterfall on the slope . From its mouth to about 517 m above sea level. NN the Lindach runs in the direction of the Pfannenbach further north towards Neidlingen.
course
In Neidlingen the Lindach flows north-north-west after taking in the right Seebach . Immediately after the village, the previously very narrow valley widens, from the mouth of the left Zipfelbach flowing from the Randecker Maar it then emerges under the Limburg ruins on the mountain of the same name on your left from its upper course bay into the flatter terrain in front of the Alb. Then it crosses Weilheim at the northern foot of the Limburg cone. From here, after taking up the two right tributaries Schmiedbach and Kohlesbach, it moves approximately northwest in their inflow direction and is reinforced by the left Federbach at the end of the village . Further down, it runs through the Kirchheim district of Jesingen . After the village and in the settlement area of the city of Kirchheim unter Teck itself, less than two kilometers from its own confluence, its two most important tributaries, the right Trinkbach and the left Gießnaubach , flow shortly after each other . Then it flows in Kirchheim north of the city center from the right into the northeast arch of the Lauter .

geology
The source shafts of the right Lindach source stream are located on the rock edge of the upper edge of the Albtrauf , whose limestone here belongs to the karst of the lower rock limestone (wJδ). The karst water mainly flows from the eastern shaft and after a few meters over the tufa limestone slopes of the Neidlinger waterfall .
Landscape and tourism
The upper Lindachtal, also called Neidlinger Tal , is a popular excursion area. Well-known is the Neidlinger waterfall below the ruins of the Reußenstein castle , over which the outflow from the source of the right source stream plunges into the valley. (See also: List of waterfalls in Germany ). In the vicinity of the river are the Randecker Maar and the Limburg , a little further away the origin of the Fils , the Teck and the Lenninger Tal (Lautertal). In addition to the picturesque old town of Kirchheim , the less scenic lower Lindach Valley awaits you with the nearby town of Holzmaden with its famous primeval world museum Hauff , one of the most important fossil collections in southern Germany.
The first section of the water flows through the Swabian Alb biosphere area .
The Neidlinger Tal is crossed by the Swabian Alb Cycle Path , a long-distance cycle path that leads from Lake Constance to Nördlingen across the entire Swabian Alb.
Legend
According to the legend recorded by Wilhelm Hauff , the source in the Neidlinger Tal was created by taking too short a step from the giant home. The giant wanted to take a step from one side of the valley to the other, slipped and then the Lindach spring gushed from the foot of the Swabian Alb .
