The Vogelthal Bach , also known as Vogelbach , is a 2.4 km long right and south tributary of the Usa , which, like its left tributary Schwarzlochbach, has its origin in ponds in the forest on Ober-Mörler area. It flows south of the Ober-Mörler district of Langenhain-Ziegenberg into the United States .
geography
course
The Vogelthal brook rises north of the Gaulskopf in the flat slope of a widened valley that leads up to the now almost unforested FFH area “Eichkopf bei Ober-Mörlen”, the pond in a quarry forest area near a forest path ⊙ , which is temporarily filled with water . After 50 meters from the left, a first and only occasionally water-bearing stream flows into the downward course, which is fed by seepage springs from a swell. Above a path exists at 332 m above sea level. NHN year-round a pond ⊙ into which a mostly dry ditch opens on the western edge. The pond cannot donate water all year round. The often dry stream reaches the opening of another forest path after 100 meters in the deciduous forest. Below that, his bed begins to be of natural origin and not dug by humans. Shortly before the hairpin of the main forest path - at around river km 2.1 - a creek about 200 meters long and also only occasionally carrying water flows out from the right. It rises from another pond ⊙ that is mostly dry. In the flat terrain of the deciduous forest there are several artificially created trenches. On a forest path, where the firing lane of a high seat begins, the trenches flow into the stream, which now flows a little steeper down to the bed of the Vogelbach.
The estuary above the hairpin has year-round groundwater outlets, so that the Vogelthal brook can now be a brook all year round ⊙ . A cultural landscape begins to emerge here, because the Vogelbach is lined with over 100-year-old alders. About 100 meters below the hairpin, an elaborately designed passage under the path into the steep, narrow upper Vogeltal valley flows from the right into a stream from the largely bare FFH area, which is expanded with around 20 Greiner barriers and only occasionally but then very much water. 200 meters further on, the Vogelthal stream changes to the area of the Ober-Mörler district of Langenhain-Ziegenberg . Here the steep and deep valley called Schwarzloch opens up , coming from the south, through which the visible Limes (between Fort Kapersburg and Fort Langenhain ) runs. The Schwarzlochbach flows parallel to it for almost 1 km. At the end of the valley, a partly swampy alluvial land zone has formed, which is used as a meadow directly before the end of the valley. The Schwarzlochbach is therefore led on the western slope of the upper Vogeltal and only flows into the Vogelthal-Bach at km 1.6 ⊙ , which on the east side of the upper Vogeltal accompanied the gravel path on the slope of the Eichkopf. A few dams below that, the path through the valley called Schwarzloch or Schwarzes Loch flows from the west and a forest path from the north slope of the Eichkopf flows from the east. To overcome the Vogelbach, it was piped for about ten meters and a wide overpass was built over it, which has become almost meaningless today, because the Schwarzloch-Weg in the valley floor near the Limes is no longer used (a well-developed path that leads past the forester's house and joins the main path near the fish ponds). Here only the visibility of the Limes ends in the area, which finally has ditches on both sides of the earth wall, and the MTB trail in the ditch on the formerly Roman site.
At about 1.2 km there is the so-called forester's house , which was built by a Frankfurt family at the end of the 19th century. It was expropriated during the Nazi era because the family members belonged to the Jewish faith. In the course of the expansion of the Adlerhorst headquarters , it was given a bunker that is still standing and usable (on Schwarzloch-Weg). The access to the unpaved parking lot runs over the Vogelbach from the Weg im Vogeltal. Underneath, the right bank of the stream is fixed by concrete pipes (about 25 cm in diameter) that are standing close together and driven vertically into the ground. A bit below it is passed underground for 100 meters. At this place on the east side there is a brick hut with a flat roof, in the center there is a shaft with a square cross-section around which three chestnuts that are not yet 100 years old stand. From the west, the Schwarzloch-Weg and a path from the Kirchwald , which accompanies a left tributary of the Vogelbach, or in its other fork via another left tributary of the Vogelbach and the Dümmelbach , flow at the Marienstein natural monument ( list of natural monuments in Ober-Mörlen ) north past into the Usatal opposite Ziegenberg Castle . At the northeast end of the square, where the path from the Usatal and the federal road 275 joins, a ditch begins on the slope of the Eichkopf, which soon changes sides and flows down to the Usa on the eastern edge of the meadow of the Vogeltal valley, where it only takes time. and carries water in sections.
The end of the piping of the Vogelbach is on the fenced off area of the fish ponds Above in the Vogeltal , so the district name. Below the tap for the ponds, the stream runs east past the edge of a meadow. In the north it hugs the heaped embankment of the large pond and therefore turns briefly to the northwest, only to flow northwards again soon. Here another stream flows from the Kirchwald from the left. The Vogelbach leads north on the eastern edge of a mountain and the western edge of the meadow in the Vogeltal. On the left bank, on the other side of abandoned paths and overgrown vegetation, a bird protection wood that thrives undisturbed in parts on a steep slope, on the ridge to the west lying valley of the Dümmelbach, over which the Pfaffenwiesbacher Weg runs, you will find the orchards of the district Im Siederhack . With the widening of the end of the valley, around 0.3 km, another fenced area with fish ponds begins. The Vogelbach is accompanied by an unpaved grass path on the right bank through the entire (lower) Vogeltal valley.
At the end of the Vogeltal, the Pfaffenwiesbacher Weg (initially paved) and a path on the edge of the Usa floodplain into the Dümmelbachtal (overgrown) and to Ziegenberg go west, and one south to the fish ponds. There is a festival and barbecue area on the east bank, accessible via a footbridge. The end of the valley is formed by the old B 275, which was led over the old sandstone bridge over the USA. Directly below this is a new reinforced concrete building. The partially preserved old asphalt roadway is used as a parking lot for day trippers and hikers. It connects the Vogeltal to the B 275. It is also partially present on the right or east bank, where it is strongly oppressed by vegetation. Here the drainage ditch is led from the place above the fish ponds Oben im Vogeltal along the south side to the west, where it closes the barbecue area to the north and flows into the Vogelbach in its northwest corner. Here, at the edge of the old B-275 route, the last piping of the Vogelbach begins. After about 50 meters underground, the last 50 meters of the Vogelbach stream, which are densely covered with vegetation (trees, bushes, tendrils, herbs, grass), begin.
It flows south of the Ober-Mörler district Langenhain-Ziegenberg at Usa-km 16.375 into the Usa ⊙ .
