The Sommerkahl , formerly also called Sonderkahl or Sonderkahlerbach , is a left tributary of the Kahl in the district of Aschaffenburg in the Bavarian Spessart . It rises below the Engländers and flows into the Kahl at Langenborn . From the upper reaches to the entrance of Sommerkahl the brook is called Speckkahl .

Surname

The name Sommerkahl comes from the Middle High German word "Sumer" , which means summer . This refers to the sunny location in the lower valley section. For the origin of the word Kahl see Name of Kahl . The brook gave the place Sommerkahl its name.

The name Speckkahl comes from a time when there were only a few paths in the Spessart. Until the first half of the 20th century , the summer people carried their ham and bacon along this stream and on over the English to Jakobsthal , formerly known as the “Knöpphütte”. There the residents exchanged buttons (hence the name) and glass beads for the food from Sommerkahl.

geography

Confluence of the source streams of the Speckkahl

The two short source streams of the Speckkahl arise east of Sommerkahl at the wooded foot of the Eselshöhe ridge , on the western slope of the Spindelberg ( 520  m above sea level ), below the Engländers . The source of the longer right Quelbaches is in the unincorporated area Schoell Krippener forest lying Ruhborn .

The confluence of the two streams and the further course of the Speckkahl are located in the 44 hectare amphibious reserve Speckkahl nature reserve . It then meanders through the meadows of six clearings in the nature reserve and is reinforced by the streams of the layer springs Finkenborn and Steinbergsborn .

After the Speckkahl has left the forest in a westerly direction, the stream from the Fuchsborn flows into it from the right and it serves as a water supply for some fish ponds . From around the Wilhelmine mine , at the entrance to Sommerkahl, the Speckkahl is then called Sommerkahl . There the Degen-Weg crosses the stream.

The Sommerkahl flows through the upper and lower villages of the village of the same name and was previously used to operate the Obermühle , Glasermühle , Geßnermühle , Pfaffsmühle and Antonsmühle . To the west of Sommerkahl, it crosses under the 2305 state road and flows into the Kahl at Langenborn .

The Sommerkahl besides Geiselbach , Reichenbach and Westerbach the largest tributary of the Kahl .

Speckkahl amphibian sanctuary

The 44 hectares large amphibians sanctuary bacon Kahl , in the narrow valley of bacon Kahl, was in 1983 protected area declared. The valley, free of trees due to centuries of mining activities, with its swampy pristine meadows and boggy areas, is a specialty in the otherwise densely forested Spessart. Tender mosses grow in the soaked spring bog, and wet meadows bloom in the swampy valley. Pools and oxbow lakes are spawning areas for a large number of amphibians such as mountain newts and grass snakes .
