The Sall is a 20 km long river in northern Baden-Württemberg, which flows into the lower Kocher from the left and east-southeast in the Sindringen district of the town of Forchtenberg in the Hohenlohe district .

geography

course

The Sall rises in the Ritter corridor about one kilometer south of Kupferzell - Belzhag at about 350  m above sea level. NN . Initially just digging a dirt road, it follows this north, crosses under the L 1036 and then begins to turn west-northwest between the houses of Belzhag, which for the most part adhere to the two flat slopes and leave the wide hollow of the Sall. Between fields, some of them meadows, but mostly fields reaching to the shore, it moves to Mangoldsall, a street village on the right foot of the slope on the K 2370, which it now accompanies, and then takes its first major tributary, the Wurzelbach, from the left .

Then a piece of wood comes to its left bank, the Sallbusch , at the edge of which it naturally winds for the first time. It occurs on the municipality of Neuenstein over, henceforth accompanied by a wood gallery, and after the inflow of Eschelbachs it passes left the scattered houses of the hamlet Langensall, which is followed by Kirchensall where it on its right side only of Dietzenbach and then the parish Bach reach . The following hamlet, Mainhardtsall, is the first of the valley settlements to be located only on the left slope, after which the Sall passes over to the Forchtenberger district at the inflow of the Orbach .

Up to this point, the Sall valley was a conspicuous hollow in the landscape due to its directional stability and width, but it was very free and, in its hilly surroundings, hardly deep. This changes from around the inflow of the Dendelbach , through whose side valley the K 2348 descends into the valley opposite Hohensall and crosses it. The Sall now flows about 60 meters below the surrounding heights, forest sets in on the now steeper valley slopes, the valley becomes narrower and no more roads run in it.

Less than two kilometers further at the inlet of the Märzklingenbach , the Sall crosses into the Zweiflinger area and begins a tight left-hand bend in which it passes Orendelsall on the left, and at the end of it, at the crossing bridge of the L 1048, meets the valley of its left and with almost 13 km is also the longest tributary of the Hirschbach , in whose direction it then moves on.

The following valley on the lower reaches meanders between its steep forest slopes, its floor is now over 100 m below the immediate area. The L 1050 Öhringen – Sindringen slowly descends on the left slope into the valley, on the bottom of which an open meadow now accompanies the Sall up to the mouth in the old direction. After a total of 20.6 km, it pours about one kilometer east- south -east of the center of Sindring from the left into the lower Kocher , just back on Forchtenberger parish ground.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Sall is over 52 square kilometers of the Hohenlohe plain . To the northeast of it, the copper moves to the digester at a distance that varies between less than one and a half kilometers on the upper reaches and a little over five kilometers between the mouths. To the south of its drainage area, the step edge river Epbach runs west to the Ohrn , cutting it off from the inflow from the Waldenburg mountains . On the southwest side, almost only the Ohrn competes on the left, only on the lower reaches the smaller catchment area of ​​the Kocher tributary, the Pfahlbach, intervenes.

The town of Neuenstein on the upper and the municipality of Zweiflingen on the lower reaches of the catchment area, and to a lesser extent the town of Forchtenberg on the middle and the estuary. The uppermost course belongs to the municipality of Kupferzell , that of the Hirschbach to the town of Waldenburg . Only tiny snippets belong to the city of Öhringen .

The large left Sall tributary Hirschbach has a high water flow from the upper Epbach via a dividing structure in its course not far from the Waldenburg domain Hohebuch. It stands in a flat valley to the upper Hirschbach, its artificial normal drainage to the lower Epbach runs through a pipe. If you add the current upper course of the Epbach , which obviously belongs to the Hirschbach, to this, then the Hirschbach becomes the main hydrological river of the Sall system. In any case, like the other large tributaries to the left of the Kocher north bend, the Sall constantly drains the Keuperstufe in the south, at least in heavy rain - here the Waldenburg mountains .

  • (Bach from the Schüßlersklinge ), from the right east of Forchtenberg -Schießhof, 1.3 km.

Mouth of the Sall near Forchtenberg- brick hut at 182.8  m above sea level. NN .

geology

The Sall begins its course a little above the Unterkeuper and stays in it until about Mainhardtsall. The rest of the way to the mouth runs in the shell limestone .

The lower reaches of the Sall after the tributary of the Hirschbach runs between two longer, parallel west-northwest running geological fault lines, the right of the two is probably followed by its middle reaches from the inflow of the Orbach .

What is striking is the almost synchronism of the Sall with its tributary Hirschbach and the Kupfer from about Kupferzell.
