geography

Source you Toleure

The Toleure rises at the foot of the Mont-Tendre chain near the point where the municipal areas of Bière , Gimel VD and Saubraz meet. The Source du Toleure (Eng. "Source des Toleure") is a karst spring and forms a natural overflow of the nearby Source de l'Aubonne .

If the Aubonne spring rises more than 2130 liters of water per second, the Toleure spring also pours . On the other hand, it dries up with a source discharge below 2090 l / s. The spring is dry for around 40% of the year (134 days in 1999 and 2000). The same applies to the sources of the Malagne stream near Montricher VD . They begin to flow when the flow of the toleure source exceeds 4865 l / s.

course

The Toleure runs after its origin, as a border river between the municipalities of Bière and Saubraz, in a south-easterly direction and after about 4 km of the river takes up the 8 km long Saubrette from the right. Shortly afterwards, the Toleure flows northwest of Aubonne VD as a right tributary into the somewhat shorter and often less arid Aubonne .
