The Schnakenbach (East Westphalian: "Schnakenbieke") is an orographically right tributary of the Westerholter Bach in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . It has a length of 3.4 km.
River course
The actual source of the Schnakenbach, incorporated in an old weir system, is located southeast of Oerlinghausen on the southwest flank of the Tönsberg in the Teutoburg Forest . After a flow distance of around 500 meters, however, the water of the stream seeps into the sand and only emerges three kilometers further south within a swampy lowland known as "Bokelfenn" and upstream of the actual mountainous area, as the impermeable marl layer of the Teutoburg Forest is the surface there reached.
The Schnakenbach then crosses the 19 hectare nature reserve "Dry valleys, box valleys and dunes of the upper Westerholter Bach" in a south-westerly direction ; two reservoirs are also flowed through within this area. After the stream has left the protection area, another pond flows through, to which an unnamed body of water also flows, and the Westerholter Bach that is created here flows away. This pond and its marshy bank area are known as "deer springs".
Then the Schnakenbach crosses the city limits of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock , touches the source basin of the Bonebach and flows south of the Stukenbrocker Friedhof in a forest again with the Westerholter Bach, shortly before it flows into the Ölbach . The Schnakenbach is piped in the last section of its course.
Differences in classification
Some maps and also the designation of the nature reserve through which it flows follow the assumption that the section of the Schnakenbach between the upper reaches and Hirschquellen is the continuation of the Westerholter Bach, while the nameless inflow of the Hirschquellen is seen as the actual upper course of the Schnakenbach. The official geospatial material does not support this system.
