The Schneidheimer Sechta is a left tributary of the Eger in the Ostalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg . It should not be confused with the Röhlinger Sechta , which is a nearby tributary of the Jagst .

course

The Schneidheimer Sechta rises northwest of Tannhausen , which it soon reaches in the southeast. It flows from there in a southerly direction through Oberschneidheim, Unterschneidheim and Oberdorf . In Bopfingen the Schneidheimer Sechta joins the Eger from the left, which is only 5.3 km long .

In the uppermost section to Tannhausen, the Sechta runs in a very shallow hollow, from Tannhausen in a valley that is not very deep. From Unterschneidheim it widens into a wide, flat hollow. It is only in the lowest section of the valley that its edge becomes steep for the first time, with the Ipf towering over its base by around 200 m , a witness mountain of the Swabian Alb that separates the Sechta from the noticeably lower foothills of the Alb around Lauchheim -Röttingen and Baldern Castle in its west.

There is hardly any forest anywhere on the banks of the Sechta. The Schneidheimer Sechta is often mistakenly viewed as the upper reaches of the Eger.
