The Morre, or Saubach in the lower reaches, is the left source stream of the Billbach in the Odenwald in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria .
geography
Morre spring
The Morre rises from a contained karst spring in the center of Hettingen . The spring water flows directly from a rock, which is the exit of a branched underground karst cave system in the Lower Muschelkalk . The facility around the spring was built in the 1970s. The Morre spring mostly dries up on dry days.
course
After its source, the Morre runs west through the town of Buchen , then bends north-northwest and takes on the Hollerbach . After about 3.2 km your largest tributary flows, the Steinbächle from the left. The Morre flows through Hettigenbeuern to Bavaria and reaches Zittenfelden . West of Schneeberg the Morre joins from the left with the smaller Marsbach to form the short Billbach , which then drains over the Mud into the Main .
Catchment area
The Morre has a catchment area of about 101 km², which tapers like a sector to its confluence with the somewhat smaller Marsbach, whose catchment area borders in the northeast. On the greater part of this watershed beyond its left tributary Eiderbach competes . On the southeast and southern watershed drainage area is bordered on the Jagst the Neckar current Seckach to, on the southwest just that of the Neckar tributary Elz . To the west of the entire catchment area back to the estuary in the far north, the Mud is constantly converging. This watershed, which often runs very close to the upper Mudtal, is up to 478.5 m above sea level. NHN greatest heights.
The catchment area is naturally divided into a very small portion in the Buchener Platte sub-area of the building land . The much larger in the sandstone Odenwald begins in Buchen itself , the heights are predominantly in the lower area of Winterhauch , the valley course soon in the lower area of the Upper Mudtal , to which the valleys of the large mud influxes are also included.

Geology, landscape and protected areas
The Morre arises in the Lower Muschelkalk , which stretches out on the northwestern edge of the arable land to the Odenwald in a strip only a few kilometers wide. Immediately after Buchen it enters the eastern Odenwald, where red sandstone forms the subsoil. In this forest landscape it flows in ever deeper Kerbsohlental up to its confluence with the Marsbach.
The almost untouched upper Morretal between Buchen and Hettigenbeuren was designated as a landscape protection area with an ordinance of the then Buchen district office of April 24, 1940 with a size of 167.1 hectares . It has the protected area number 2.25.014 and is part of the FFH area "Odenwaldtäler Buchen-Walldürn" . The Morretal is also called "Mühltal" because of several mills in the upper reaches. Between 1345 and 1976, the Morre was used to water meadows . Today the remains of the weirs , retaining walls and trenches built for this purpose can still be seen.
