The Ursentalbach is a left tributary of the Danube near Nendingen . It arises in the lower Ursental and from the junction on the north-eastern outskirts of Nendingen in the Kesselbach has a second lower course, which further down the valley at Stetten also flows into the Danube.

geography

Source and run

The Kesselbach created at the foot of the left Talhangs summer forest on the northwestern Bräunisberg up approximately below the dialed Bräunisburg in the lower Ursental that much further starts as a dry valley in the north-northwest and in the area of the Great Heuberg lies.

From here the stream flows for about two kilometers through the valley to the south-southeast and then reaches the district of Nendingen on the left, already in the Danube valley. The brook follows the outskirts for a short distance until it reaches the Tuttlingen- Nendingen road to the left of the Danube and the Tuttlingen-Inzigkofen railway line . Then it bends to the northwest and accompanies the railway lines through the settlement area on the left, finally past a chapel on the left and the stopping point of the village on the right. Then it crosses under the embankment and splits up right behind it. The Kesselbach branches off to the left and initially follows the railway line towards Stetten. The shorter, official lower course turns southeast to the Danube and crosses its left floodplain for 350 meters. Then it flows from the left to about 634.4  m above sea level. NN , a few steps before the inlet of the stream from the Rottweiler Valley from the other side, after a run of 3.7 km into the Danube.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Ursentalbach begins over 14 km north-north-west of its mouth on the Hummelsberg and borders there on the major watershed between the Neckar and the Danube. It stretches as a tube mostly around two, in the area of ​​its source only briefly about four kilometers wide on both sides of the Ursental to the south-southeast and covers 28.2 km².

Kesselbach

The Kesselbach flows into the Danube near Stetten (Mühlheim adDonau)

The Kesselbach arises at about 635  m above sea level. NN as the left branch of the Ursentalbach after it has passed under the railway line and follows this as an Auengraben on the left side about one and a half kilometers to the northeast until the first houses of Stetten are on the other side of the railway line, and then turns from it to the southeast. On the section up to the turn it takes in many small inflows from springs on the slope of the Bräunisberg from the left, which noticeably increases its flow. Among other things, the small, wooded Ententäler reaches the Donauaue and after the Stettener Lourdes Grotto at the turning a 300 m long brook from the reed fountain on the middle slope. After a small south loop in the direction of the Danube, the Kesselbach is briefly the southern boundary of the settlement of Stetten and then flows 2.2 km in length at the Stettener Danube bridge at 632.9  m above sea level. NN from the left into the Danube. It has a catchment area (from the junction) of 1.7 km². On the right it covers about half the floodplain between Kesselbach and the Danube, on the left it stretches as a wedge up the Bräunisberg to about the south of the Gewanns Hangen with about twice the area on this side.

If one saw the Kesselbach instead of its shorter official one as the lower reaches of the Ursentalbach, then this would reach a length of about 5.6 km.

Landscape and nature

The Kesselbach runs up to the entrance to the Danube Valley in the conservation area "Ursental with bottom Bräunisberg". The catchment area of ​​the Kesselbach comprises part of the registered FFH area "Danube Valley and plateaus from Tuttlingen to Beuron". Ursentalbach, the entire Ursental and the Kesselbach with its catchment area belong to the Upper Danube Nature Park .

Sights and events

  • There is an adventure water playground on the Ursentalbach near Nendingen .
  • In Stetten, the Kesselbach is dammed once a year and then the Kesselbach Festival is celebrated on an artificial island .

  4. ↑ According to the corresponding data set on LUBW-GEZG.
  5. ↑ Because of the karstification in the area of ​​the dry valley, different directions of flow are to be expected in the subsoil than results from the superficial valley divide lines.
  6. ↑ Estimated according to the contour lines of the LUBW-FG10.
  7. ↑ In the geodata viewer, with a resolution of about 1: 7,000, a blue elevation point at the point of the mouth with the inscription 632.9 is visible.
