The Rößlesmahdsee , also Rösslesmahdsee , is a pond on the northern edge of the Swabian-Franconian forest mountains near Waldenburg , Hohenlohekreis and the origin of the Goldbach , an upper left tributary of the beaver that drains in a southerly direction .

The approximately 1.5 ha large Rößlesmahdsee lies at a little over 455 m above sea level. NN in the upper valley of the Goldbach on the extreme northeastern edge of the Waldenburg mountains . The heights of the Waldenburg mountains surrounding both sides of up to 522.8 m above sea level. NN are silica sandstone plateaus, between which the flat meadow valley in the reed sandstone drains southwest to the upper Bibers . The valley surface drops about 100 m east-northeast of the lake in a wooded Keuperstufe steeply to the Hohenlohe plain at Beltersrot, which is about 70 m below . In the past millions of years, the Beltersroter Bach , which strives in this Pfaffenklav against the Goldbach direction to the east-northeast, has severely gnawed the old sub-Danubian floodplain of the Goldbach due to backward erosion and has moved so close to the lake that in the meantime a pseudobifurcation sometimes occurs during heavy rainfall . In this case, the water of the lake flows partly to the southwest over the Goldbach to the Bibers and partly to the east-northeast through the ever deeper burrowing clay blade over the Beltersroter Bach to the Kupfer . Geologists expect that in just 5000 years the Rößlesmahdsee will continuously drain into the Beltersroter Bach.

Mainly for this reason, the lake and the blade are designated as a nature reserve Rößlesmahdsee with Pfaffenklinge . The nature reserve with a size of 16.2 hectares was created by ordinance of the Stuttgart Regional Council of November 30, 1982 and has the protected area number 1.110.
