geography

course

The Rötenbach rises at about 683  m above sea level. NN southwest of Rötenberg ( Black Forest ), a suburb of Aichhalden in the Rottweil district , Baden-Württemberg , west of the Mostert forest near the Etzenbühl residential area. After flowing around Mostert in the south, it moves north-northeast and crosses Rötenberg itself. At Schoren, where he lives, he enters a forest valley, where his first tributary, Heftenbach, reaches him from the right and south-east. Then it runs northwards , here Grenzbach zu Alpirsbach in the Freudenstadt district on the right bank, passes the blueberry mill in Alpirsbach, takes up the Krebsbach again from the right and then flows past the Jörglesmühle and Lochmühle settlements, which also belong to Alpirsbach.

Below it enters the Alpirsbach municipality marker, at another Lochmühle that will soon follow, the valley widens and from the right the Waschbach coming from the east-northeast joins , whereupon the Rötenbach is permanently and now permanently open valley floor for its last almost three kilometers turns west-northwest. Under the fief forest on the now about 200 meter high right slope, it flows past the newer Dieboldsberg settlement at the foot of the slope and the spa on the right bank. Then it reaches the southern part of the Alpirsbach district of Rötenbach, which runs along the river, where it rises to around 409  m above sea level. NN flows from the left into the upper Kinzig , which is moving south here .

On its 8.7 km long path, the Rötenbach has a gradient of over 270 meters in altitude or over 31 ‰. For this reason there were once many mills on its bank .

The L 422 runs through the valley on the longest section between Rötenberg and Rötenbach.

Catchment area

It covers 17.9 km². The highest point in it is on the southwest tip about one and a quarter kilometers southwest of the origin at about 723  m above sea level. NN .
