geography

course

Germühle in the Schwarzbachtal

The Schwarzbach rises at an altitude of about 548  m above sea level. NHN in the Bergwinkel northeast of the Schlüchtern district of Gundhelm .

Its direction of flow is initially west. Later it changes its course to the southwest, its main flow direction, which it essentially maintains up to the mouth. At Gundhelm it is fed by the Weissbach on the left .

It finally flows into the Schlüchtern district of Elm at an altitude of about 230  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the less arid and only 6.5 km long Elmbach .

The approximately 11.5 km long course of the Schwarzbach ends approximately 318 meters below its source, so it has a mean bed gradient of around 28 ‰.

Catchment area

The 17.30 km² catchment area of the Schwarzbach lies in the Vorder- and Kuppenrhön and in the Sandstone Spessart . It is drained through it via the Elmbach, the Kinzig , the Main and the Rhine to the North Sea.

  • in the northwest to that of the Elmbach;
  • and in the north to that of the cress water , which flows into the lilac.

The highest point is the Hoherain at 588  m above sea level. NHN in the east of the catchment area.
