The Scheffelbach is a stream of just over 1 km in length in the southern municipality of Bühlerzell in the Schwäbisch Hall district in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the upper Bühler from the left and southwest near the hamlet of Steinenbühl in the municipality .

geography

course

The Scheffelbach begins its course at about 447  m above sea level. NHN about half a kilometer southwest of the hamlet of Steinenbühl in the Wiesengewann Scheffelhof in an herbaceous hollow in front of the Waldgewann Lange Reute . The vegetation with gallery trees on the north-eastern course of the deepening brook widens in the ever wider hollow to a valley forest in which the conifers dominate. After passing a source on the river, a pump house stands about half a kilometer below the source; The 19 hectare water protection area of Steinenbühl is located on the mostly open left slope in the southwest of Steinenbühl .

Then the field island around Steinenbühl extends to the left bank for the next almost 400 meters opposite the Forstgewann Wäldle . Towards the end of this section runs to below 420  m above sea level. NHN a nearly 0.3 km long slope meadow brook, which at over 440  m above sea level. NHN rises from a spring under trees on the eastern edge of Steinenbühl and contributes a comparatively small sub-catchment area with only about 0.1 km².

After that, the creek is followed by the access road that descended from Steinenbühl in the closed valley forest that runs from the wood on the right as Ochsenbrand up to the left hill. Next to the road bridge and opposite its connection to the river valley road L 1072 at some single houses from the Adelmannsfeldener hamlet of Stöcken , the Scheffelbach finally flows on the edge of its valley floor from the left and southwest at about 407  m above sea level. NHN in the upper Bühler .

The brook, which is about 40 meters high on its 1.2 km long course, has an average bed gradient of 33 ‰.

Catchment area

The Scheffelbach drains about 1.1 km² of the sub-area Sulzbacher Wald, part of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains natural area, about northeast to the upper Bühler. Two thirds of its catchment area is forested, the remaining third of the corridor is mostly on the left, with the exception of the Gewann Scheffelhof. There are fields here only near the left watershed on the flatter upper part of the ridge in front of the next competitor below the Bühler.

This is the Eckertsbach . Further up, the left watershed borders the catchment area of ​​the Gerabronner Bach , which flows further down into the Bühler ; the triple point on a knoll in the forest is 480.6  m above sea level. NHN is the highest that drains to the Scheffelbach. Already beyond the municipal boundary to Adelmannsfelden, the boundary of the catchment area then extends in front of the Spitzklinge , which is drained from the Seebach to the Kocher tributary Rötenbach , southeast to the second highest point on its southern border at around 478  m above sea level. NHN in the egg forest . Behind the now right watershed back to the mouth, two nameless streams run above the Scheffelbach again from the left to the Bühler, the upper one at Adelmannsfelder Hirschhof, the smaller lower one only a few meters before the Scheffelbach itself.

The Scheffelbach begins its course below a small swamp on the edge of the Lange Reute forest . It has a very natural course with small turns, alternation of flat and steep banks and an often sandy-gravel bed. In the upper section there is mostly deciduous trees directly on the bank. At the lower reaches it is up to a meter wide and has mostly sandy sediment, there deciduous trees are rarer on the banks. The source of its only significant tributary on the eastern edge of Steinenbühl emerges heavily pouring out of a rocky slope, and there is also the outflow from a cattle pasture. The herbaceous stream, which meanders through a cattle pasture on the slope to the Scheffelbach, is water-bearing all year round, sometimes flat, then deep flowing again, is very close to nature. The lower basin left side of the creek from about Steinenbühl heard, including the proportion of woodland but without the local hall of the hamlet to the conservation area Upper Bühlertal and surroundings . South-southwest of the hamlet is a 20 hectare area of ​​an abandoned quarry with a five-meter-high wall in the lower Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) on the left of the lower slope of the brook on the left side of the lower creek slope. A karst channel was cut through the mining. Mittelkeuper is available in the entire catchment area , from the Stubensandstein (Löwenstein Formation) to the Upper Bunter Mergel ( Mainhardt Formation ) down to the Kieselsandstein ( Hassberge Formation ).

The only settlement area is the hamlet of Steinenbühl on the left slope with less than ten houses. Like the stream and most of the catchment area, it is located in the southernmost part of the Bühlerzell suburb of the municipality of Bühlerzell. A marginal strip on the watershed to the pointed blade in the southwest and a tiny gusset near the mouth in the east, both uninhabited forest areas, lie on the municipality mark of Adelmannsfelden .
