Zellertal (Bavarian Forest)

The Zellertal , also Zeller Tal , is a valley basin on the northern edge of the Bavarian Forest .

geography

The valley stretches from Bodenmais in a north-westerly direction via Drachselsried , Arnbruck and Traidersdorf to the valley of the white rain near Bad Kötzting . Between Kötzting and Langsdorf leading national road 2132 therethrough.

The Kaitersberg ( 1133  m ) and finally the Große Arber ( 1456  m ) rise to the northeast , the significantly lower Weigelsberg ( 898  m ) to the southwest and, at the extension of the valley, the Kronberg ( 984  m ).

The sources of the Haberbühlbach are in the Bodenmaiser district of Mais . It flows through the valley to Drachselsried and there joins the Röhrlbach to Asbach, which comes from the north and rises near Hötzelsried . This flows through a southern side valley to the Black Rain . The sources of the Gruberbach are north of Arnbruck. It crosses the valley in its further course to Bad Kötzting and flows there into the White Rain

geomorphology

In the Zellertal there is pile slate of a secondary pile , see pile . This extends in the extension of the valley via northeast Langdorf to Bettmannsäge . Geomorphologically, the valley extends even further, but in a somewhat weaker form to the southeast as far as Spiegelau .

Natural allocation

In terms of its natural surroundings , the valley is classified and structured as follows:

• (to 404 rain sink )
• 404.6 Bodenmais-Kötztinger Depression
  • 404.60–404.66 ≈ Zellertal
    • 406.60 Bodenmaiser boiler
    • 406.61 Arnbruck Valley
    • 406.62 Traidersdorfer Tal
  • 406.63 Kötztinger Basin

The Kötztinger basin extends along the course of the White Rain from Hohenwarth via Grafenwiesen and Bad Kötzting to the union with the Black Rain and the latter up to the district of Sackenried . The combined rain at Blaibach is one of them. In addition to the Zellertal, the basin also includes the Lamer Winkel further north . In principle, the basin is geomorphologically clearly different from the two recorded valleys and is commonly not combined with the Zellertal.

While the Kötztinger basin represents a natural edge of the hill country of the rain depression, the Zellertal - like the Lamer Winkel - is commonly understood as part of the Upper Bavarian Forest . It is divided into two low water divisions in its course. The Traidersdorfer Tal drains over the Kaitersbach to the northwest to the White Rain. In the Arnbruck valley, two headwaters of the Asbach flow towards each other, which finally breaks through the Wurzer Spitz-Weigelsbergzug to the south and separates the south-east summit of Wolfgangriegel ( 876  m ). Finally, in the Bodenmaiser Kessel, the fan-like converging main strands of the Rothbach , which separates the Wolfgangriegel from the Kronbergkamm , meet .
