The 12 km long Scheldt is a left tributary of the Dill in the Lahn-Dill district, Central Hesse . It is the central river of the Schelder Forest, named after it, in the west of the Gladenbacher Bergland , which it flows through from northeast to southwest and finally flows south of Dillenburg .
geography
course
The source of the Scheldt is located southwest not far from the Angelburg , the highest elevation in the Gladenbacher Bergland at 609 m, and in the vicinity of the Gansbach -Quelllauf on the district of Hirzenhain (train station), municipality of Eschenburg . In the following course, initially to the west- south-west, the border to the neighboring municipality of Siegbach briefly crosses the bank before the river bends to the south-west and reaches the Dillenburg district, which it will not leave until its mouth.
After the Scheldt has flowed through largely untouched forest landscapes for its first 7 km, it reaches the first and only clearing of its course in Oberscheld . From the left the Tringensteiner Scheldt flows towards it, which until then has seen neither settlements nor roads.
After another two kilometers of forest crossing, during which the right of Eibach coming eponymous creek flows, the Scheldt leaves in Niederscheld finally the Schelder forest and enters the Lower Dilltal , where they immediately left into the Dill opens.

traffic
Almost the entire course of the Scheldt is accompanied by the Schelde-Lahn-Straße , Landesstraße 3042. This makes use of the proximity of the source courses of the Gansbach and Schelde and crosses the watershed between Oberer Lahn and Dill via the comparatively gentle inclines and slopes of the two rivers.
The same considerations followed the now closed Scheldtalbahn ( Schelde-Lahn-Bahn ), the tracks of which still line the valley of the Scheldt.
Linguistic
A comparison of the Hessian and Belgian water names shows a reversal of the hierarchy: while in Hesse the Scheldt flows into the Dill and this into the Lahn, in Belgium the Laan (French: Lasne) flows into the Dijle (French: Dyle) and overflows it the only 12 km long Rupel , as it were the common lower reaches of the Dijle and Nete , into the Scheldt .
