The Schöllenbach is a four-kilometer long stream in the Hessian Odenwaldkreis , which flows into the Itterbach below the Schöllenbach district of the Odenwald town of Oberzent .

geography

course

The Schöllenbach rises in a north-south facing notch valley typical of the Buntsandstein-Odenwald , which starts at the Kohlwald ( 560.4  m above sea level ) west of Bullau and thus on the southern edge of the Würzberger Platte and opens to the south. The headwaters of the Schöllenbach are around two kilometers south of Bullau, where the valley has deepened between the Rudelsberg in the west and the Langen Forst in the east, both of which rise above 500 meters. The only noteworthy tributary to the Schöllenbach is the tunnel stream on the right and coming from the west , whose name is derived from the Krähberg tunnel ; the east portal of the tunnel is in the side valley of the tributary.

Below the location of Schöllenbach , the Schöllenbach flows at an altitude of about 285  m above sea level. NHN from the right and west to the Euterbach , which from this confluence is called Itterbach .

The approximately 3.9 km long course of the Schöllenbach ends about 94 meters below its source, so it has an average bed gradient of 24 ‰.

Catchment area

The Schöllenbach drains 11.4 km² of the central Odenwald via the Itterbach southwards to the Neckar . The border of its catchment area follows the Main- Neckar watershed from the Kohlwald in the north via the Gebhardshütte inn and the hunting lodge on the Krähberg to the Reußenkreuz in the west. In the east, the catchment area extends to the ridge of the Long Forest . In the southwest, the catchment area is limited by a long, narrow plateau that starts at the Reußenkreuz and continues across from Friedrichsdorf am Itterbach. The catchment area is forested except for the locality of Schöllenbach and a narrow strip of field markings in the valley floor, which extends around three kilometers from the mouth of the valley to the side valley of the tunnel stream .

In the center of the catchment area is the Mittelberg ( 506.6  m above sea level ), where the municipal boundaries of Hesseneck , Sensbachtal and Beerfelden (since 2018 all town of Oberzent), which shared the catchment area with Erbach , met.

Tributaries

traffic

Coming from the Mümlingtal near Hetzbach in the west, the state road 3108 as part of the Siegfriedstraße from the Reußenkreuz follows the winding pass road down the often notched steep valley slopes above the Tunnelbach into the Schöllenbachtal and thus offers the only road connection from Hesseneck to the rest of the Odenwaldkreis .

Along the Schöllenbach and Tunnelbach, the Odenwaldbahn reaches the east portal of the 3100 meter long Krähberg tunnel .
