The Pfingstborner Bach , also known as the Bach von der Kapersburg , is a two-kilometer long brook in the eastern Hintertaunus that flows into the Wiesbach from the right and southeast in the Pfaffenwiesbach district of the municipality of Wehrheim in the Hessian Hochtaunuskreis .

designation

geography

course

The Pfingstborner Bach is created in an elongated clearing that runs from east to west between the Unteres Kolbenrot forest troughs in the north and oak armies in the south. It rises in a wet meadow at an altitude of about 386  m above sea level. NN and initially flows a good three hundred meters to the west in this narrow grassland clearing strip, which is bordered by coniferous forest in the north and mixed forest in the south. At the end of it, it turns to the northwest at a fork in the forest and then flows a further three hundred meters through the coniferous forest area Unteres Kolbenrot . Then he arrives in an open hallway and walks along the woods, northwards through the Wiesengewann Am Röhrborn . After four hundred meters, a half-kilometer-long meadow stream coming from the east flows to him on his right side on a forest island. The Pfingstborn Bach then moves northwest through grassland along the southeast edge of Pfaffenwiesbach, accompanied by Pfingstbornstraße at intervals of 50 meters . It finally flows underground under the Forsthausstraße at an altitude of about 282  m above sea level. NN from the right into the Wiesbach coming from the south .

Catchment area

The Pfingstborner Bach drains about 3.7 km² of the eastern Hintertaunus to its confluence with the Wiesbach in the middle of Pfaffenwiesbach. Its catchment area has an approximately spindle-shaped contour, it extends in the longitudinal direction from the saddle between Kuhkopf and Saukopf in the southeast to the mouth in the northwest about 3.3 km; across it it measures about 1.6 km at its widest point. Beginning at the mouth, the watershed rises rapidly northeast to the Großenhardt hill ( 356  m above sea level ) on the road to Friedrichsthal ; on the outside, its right valley slope drains into the downward Wiesbach. Then it bends to the right and runs for a long time southeast on a hill ridge in front of the catchment area of ​​the Holzbach , first to the water reservoir at the forest entrance of the Forsthausstraße, then through the forest to the Kuhkopf , at approx. 500  m above sea level. NHN the highest elevation in the catchment area. Here she quickly turns south on a short saddle to the Saukopf (approx. 480  m above sea level ); on the east side of the Fahrenbach drains over the Rosbach to the Nidda . There the dividing line bends to the west, passes the Roman fort Kapersburg on its north side and runs to the spur in the Wehrholz with its flat crest ( 380  m above sea level ), which separates from the valley of the upward Wiesbach. When you descend to the mouth of this stream in the northeast, the watershed finally leaves the mountain forest halfway up.

About two thirds of the catchment area is forest, which is largely closed and with little clearing, occupying the central and especially the southeastern part of the catchment area, which mostly protrudes over the open northwestern part.
