The Waldbach is a brook in the Hohenlohe district in Baden-Württemberg and a right tributary of the Dimbach .

geography

course

The forest stream runs in a north-easterly direction and completely in the area of ​​the municipality of Bretzfeld . The source is located in the Sperbelhau forest , about 1500 m south of the Waldbach district of the same name . After recording two nameless streams from the left before the village of Waldbach, it flows into the Dimbach from the right shortly before Rappach , which flows into the Schwabbach shortly afterwards .

Catchment area

The Waldbach drains an area of ​​about 6.2 km² northeast to the Dimbach. The smaller edge part of it in the curve from south to west belongs to the sub-area Sulmer Bergebene of the natural area Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , here on the slopes of the wooded small mountain area lies the source of the forest stream at Sperbelhau as well as the larger of its two left tributaries in Sperbelhau . However, the greater part of the catchment area is part of the Brettach Bay in the neighboring natural area of Hohenloher and Haller Ebene . Here mainly fields are cultivated, but there are also vineyards and fruit-growing areas. The only place in it is the village of Waldbach in the municipality of Bretzfeld on the left at the middle course.

The highest point is almost 313  m above sea level. NHN on the Gagernberg on the western watershed. In turn, the catchment areas of the following neighboring waters are adjacent:

  • in the northwest and north flows, with only short tributaries from the watershed, the Dimbach , which takes in the Waldbach and reaches the Brettach via the Schwabbach ;
  • in the northeast, the catchment area of ​​the Dimbach tributary Mühlengraben , which branches off from the Brettach, borders briefly , then, for a short time, this itself is the next body of water;
  • from the east up to the south the Eschelbach leads the drain on the opposite side to the Brettach;
  • in the south two small competitors flow to the Michelbach , a Sulm tributary
  • in the southwest the Seebächle flows a little further down to the Sulm
  • in the northwest, the catchment area of ​​the even deeper Sulm tributary Sülzbach borders only for a short time .

So all competitors on the other side of the watershed drain, be it via the Brettach or the Sulm, to the Neckar .

In the ring, which is open in the north and broken in the west, near the watershed there is a partly wide band of gypsum keuper ( Grabfeld formation ). In the tertiary geological sequence of deposits, two plateaus made of sandstone reed ( Stuttgart formation ) tower above it in the west . In the lower elevations there is large areas of floating earth mixed with loess sediment , while some islands of unmixed loess sediment cover the plateaus and others also occur in lower elevations.
