The Schönmünz is the second largest tributary of the Murg in the northern Black Forest . The river drains an extensive, largely unpopulated forest area in the east of the main ridge south of the Hornisgrinde .
geography
Course and valley landscape
The valley of the Schönmünz begins with one of the most famous landscape scenes of the northern Black Forest, the view from the Seekopf (1055 m above sea level ) of the Wildsee , located in a wide cirque , and the upper Schönmünz valley, which is closed to the plateaus on the horizon. To the north of this lake hole , separated by the chapel hump , the neighboring Kar Seeleger joins. The Legerbächle that rises here and the Seeloch stream form the rapidly growing Schönmünz. Its headwaters are located in the wettest part of Germany outside the Alps. The closed forest gives no indication that almost the entire upper Schönmünztal valley was burned to ashes by a forest fire in 1800.
In the further course of the elongated brook, many side brooks flow into it from both sides, almost all of which begin in mostly eastward open karen and in some cases have typical jumps towards the main valley: The upper Schönmünz valley is one of the strongest of glaciers areas of the northern Black Forest shaped by the last glacial periods . At the Volzen houses the valley turns northwards, and where the valley floor falls below a height of 600 meters, small valley meadows multiply. But there are also occasional meadows on the leveling of the slopes at about 700 meters above sea level. The largest is at the confluence of the Schönmünztal with the Langenbachtal coming from the left, there is also the lumberjack settlement Leimiß ( Miss : regional term for moor). Most of the small source rivers arise a little higher above the valley floor, because this is where the almost flat rock boundary lies between the red sandstone that forms the boggy mountain ridges and the underlying, barely water-permeable Forbach granite . Many of the Grinden , boggy high plateaus on both sides of the valley have long been under nature protection and are now part of the core areas of the Black Forest National Park .
At the confluence of the Langenbach there is a settlement whose name Zwickgabel describes the topographical situation. The straight Langenbachtal with three other small settlements is significantly longer than the Schönmünz Valley and, from the confluence, also indicates the further eastern valley direction. It begins on the eastern slope of the Hornisgrinde , the highest mountain in the northern Black Forest. The Schönmünz is still a bit richer in water and thus retains its name. The district road 4734, a spur road into the rear Langenbachtal, accompanies the Schönmünz, which has grown to over 15 meters wide.
From the left, the Hintere Seebach, which rises in the protected Blindsee- Kar, and the Vordere Seebach, which begins in the Schurmsee- Kar , which is also protected by high cliffs, flow. From here the village of Schönmünzach begins , which accompanies the river on the last kilometer of its course. The Schönmünz flows into the Murg near the train station with an average water flow of around 2.3 m³ / s.
