course
The northern Zinsel arises at about 225 meters, from the confluence of the Breidenbach and Moderbach , near Mouterhouse (German: Mutterhausen ). While the Breidenbach am Breitenstein or Twelve Apostle Stone (French: Pierre des douze Apôtres ) rises near Goetzenbruck , the source of the Moderbach, the Wasserfelsen (French: Cascade des Ondines ), lies on the eastern edge of Lemberg . The largest tributary is the Falkensteinerbach , which flows from the left at Uttenhofen.
The northern Zinsel then flows in the sometimes quite wide valley, surrounded by the endless forests of the Mutterhausen state forest, in a south-easterly direction to the Schmalenthalweiher (French also étang de Baerenthal ) and the popular holiday resort of Baerenthal . At the exit of the Vosges into the Rhine plain follows the Lower Alsatian village of Zinswiller . In Gumbrechtshoffen is Regional Natural Park of Vosges du Nord exit and from Uttenhoffen follows the Northern Zinsel of the N 62 and the railway line Niederbronn-les-Bains - Hagenau and crosses with these transport routes from Mertzwiller the Hagenauer forest .
At Schweighouse-sur-Moder in the canton of Hagenau it joins the Moder from the left in an industrial area.
history
In 1196 the river was called Cinzele . Surnames evidence relates Albrecht Greule the Southern Zinsel or the unsure identifiable Bach Gunsinus rivus , the old in three border descriptions of the monastery Maursmünster appears.
In the 19th century there was a lot of iron industry on the Northern Zinsel, which was run by the industrial dynasty De Dietrich . This led to heavy deforestation, which has now been compensated for.
