Geography

Source and course

The Adelsbach occurs west of the carbon road on the western edge of the local forest Gewanns Muselmoor. It is run by a forest road that leads away from the carbon road and then down into the incipient Talung the creek after a small right-hand bend in the direction to the center front Ante Bachhaldenstrasse. The young Bach runs as digging the forest path parallel west-northwest. He digs up pretty quickly a small Lehmschlucht in its more spacious well and has created a steep embankment on the left side after about 100 meters. After about 300 m running to be a little shorter right Quellast from snails wells forth. While it flows so Front between the forested slope tubs Ante Bachhaldenstrasse left and pigeons dump right, cross it after about 700 meters, a branch of the accompanying forest road that climbs north to Michel Bacher festival grounds on the western foothills of the Kohlhäus, then thrusts a short kilometer from the right Taubenbach from the southern Kohlhäu to him. Close to the foot of his left trough crash he turns left here and then flows up to the muzzle pointed in approximately southsouthwest direction.

After about 1.2 km, finally reached him from the right inflow from the Ghöll running in an equally conspicuous steep sided trough, after 2.2 km to 356.6 m above sea level. NN from the left rear of the Ante Bachhaldenstrasse its largest tributary, the its headwaters approximately parallel Ante Bach. From here, the Adelsbach between the Snow Mountain a wooded foothills of the Limpurger mountains, and the individual, small solid beech Horn and Adelberg right initially until needle Bacher inn where he reached the open hall, the little road Michel Bach Hirsch Rheinfelden - Gaildorf - Eutendorf in running left, its valley and enters the air flows on Gaildorfer area soon. Following the extension of the Talflur the lower slopes show up after over 3.5 km of the Adelsbach - run there the first buildings, sheds and scattered farmsteads. About a kilometer before the mouth is on the left side of the brook from an old channel, the dale about 300 m reaches an old sawmill; he leads her now, no more water, the old storage area is now used as a fish pond. All of these settlements include the name Adelsbach to Gaildorf. Finally, the Adelsbach crosses under the isolated group of houses Adelsbach Road No. 9-12/1 Gaildorf - Ottendorf the railway line Waiblingen- Schwäbisch Hall Hessental and then opens a few steps further to 4.8 km from right in the boiler, whose valley here almost opposite approach draws.

Catchment area

The Adelsbach has a catchment area of 5.9 km ². It forms a usually about a kilometer wide hose to the watercourse, which, however, reaches a width of nearly two kilometers in the area of west-northwest -withdrawing upper reaches, where the largest inflow Ante stream runs parallel to about 700 m in the south.

In the north, to that of the nobility Bach borders of the catchment area of the eponymous for the municipality Michel Bach at the Bilz Bach, the watershed runs here from also with the eponymous hill Bilz in the north- west to east over the ridge line of Michel Bacher Kohlhäus for carbon road in the northeast. From there it follows quite accurately the carbon road, northeast and east are here beyond one after the catchment areas of the Brühlbach, the pleasure of Bach and the Rotbachs on, all of which drain into the section between Herlebach and Oberfischach in the Fischach. The watershed bends just before the Kaiserlinde on the carbon road west and pulls, the ridgeline of the Snow Mountain, following, finally, to the south, here is competing with their tributaries only in the South, then the South East Eutendorfer Steppach, in southeast offset synchronization with the Adelsbach runs to the digester. From the mouth at Ottendorf the watershed moves with an initial short arc to the west up to the summit of the noble mountain, whereupon it follows in a northerly direction of the ridge line of the book horn. Here compete in the West before the near- boiler insignificant slope streams. From the group of houses on the northeast summit of Buchhorns the watershed pulls with a small West dangling on the violin mountain with Michel Bach hell further north to Bilz back. Dewatered to this section beyond the Rattersbach the hallway bay between Buchhornplatz Bilz and to the digester.

Geology

The Adelsbach arises, regardless also of the inflowing Ante Bach, on the pebbly sandstone plateau of western Limpurger mountains, in the area where they are crossed in west south- north-easterly direction from the far-reaching tectonic trough line of the Neckar -Jagst furrow. Two proven fault lines of the same, each with the deep soil in the south, extending north of Adelsbach - upper reaches across the Kohlhäu or between the latter and the Ante creek in the south over the elongated Ante Bach plane that separates the two valleys. Another such line, this time with the high plaice in the south, runs the eastern area just south of the watershed to Steppach, then crosses, not well established here, the middle valley and separates the other side on the small massif of the southern nobility mountain summit from the rest of Adelberg and Horn Book, at a little sunken, narrow saddle, the a forest uses in nature indicated at the height.

Even the headwaters deep rapidly through the whole sequence one to the Gipskeuper without the Geological Map Verebnungsflächen in Schilfsandstein indicated between; the Schilfsandstein is designed here in only a few meters thick, sandy- clayey normal or Stillwasserfazies, but at a short distance north of Eutendorf already back in the mighty Flutfazies. To the right of the needle brook occur in the catchment area on the southern slope of the Bilz and between Michel Bach hell and the Löhle gypsum layers on, south of the tectonic trough then again on the western slope, where is a small open-cast plaster in operation off the southern tip of the Snow Mountain; the excavated layers draw here on the left side down to the mouth. The Snow mountain itself climbs of Eutendorf forth a ravine, where the layer sequence of the Gipskeuper is open right up to the Schilfsandstein. The creek bed reached in the field of nobility Bacher scattered settlement the Lower Keuper, which continues to spread down the valley tapered in the lower parts of small hollows. The last houses on the creek than 100 meters for the first time and are just on the Upper Muschelkalk, the boiler down in the area of tectonic trough plunges further Unters Talniveau the river upstream of the mouth.

Towns

The first two miles of the nobility Bach as the associated catchment area are entirely or almost entirely within the boundaries of the municipality Michel Bach at the Bilz, to about 200 m south of the point where the creek reaches the corridor boundary at the needle Bacher inn, which this community about ⅔ the catchment area belong. Then the water is in the area of the city Gaildorf, with minor deviations, to the houses Eutendorf - Adelsbach No. 1, 1/ 1, 1/ 2 and 4, the boundary between the sub- districts of Ottendorf the west and Eutendorf in the east, the formerly independent communities were; of the scattered homesteads of Adelsbach at that time belonged to the left of the creek to the municipality Eutendorf that which the municipality Ottendorf why they still belong to different districts right now. On the rest of this piece Gemarkungsgrenze slowly climbs the left of the river Mulde slope.

A forest tip of 5-6 ha on the southern Buchhornplatz belongs to Westheimer district of the town of Rosengarten, but drained to Adelsbach, also projects a 3-4 ha even smaller tip of the Eutendorfer district in the catchment area above the source of the inflow Ante Bach.

Climate

In the upper and middle Adelbachtal adheres by the altitude or because the low sun the valley floor almost only shines when it is in direction of the valley, the snow for a long time, if he is already defrosted in the Kocher, so the vegetation is in the spring, a late.

Environment

Landscape

The headwaters of the nobility Bach is situated in a steep Lehmklinge, reaching the Gipskeuper runs the stream, as well as its tributaries in this area, in a narrow trough with steep slopes on, in which he nevertheless meanders violently and small sand banks deposits. From the nobility Bacher tavern he passes into the green corridor and runs little after merely as little deepened Wiesbach in a fairly wide grassy hollow, consistently accompanied by the banks woods. The corridor widens, left first, the slopes high, here are small islands with trees in pastures; Rows of trees and hedges lining old, unpaved hillside roads and mark old property boundaries, sometimes along the slopes of terrain terraces, making the landscape overall receives a small-scale character. The scattered farms are mostly stood by orchards. The first fields occur only after the first houses of Adelsbach on above the narrow valley.

Of the 5.9 km ² of the catchment area more than two-thirds consisted of forest, mostly with mixed forest, in the foliage and in the south, to Snow Mountain and Horn Book / Adelberg more coniferous forest is more scattered in the northern area. The free corridor is divided essentially into two areas: The approximately 0.7-0.8 km ² smaller in the northwest of the catchment area, which is called from the southern slope of Bilz, the lower part of the Martin Reute southwest slope of Kohlhäus, the Löhle up to the East summit the Buchhorns pulls and east extends to the trough edges of the stream from the Ghöll and the nobility of Bach himself. Of these, the greater part is used for agricultural purposes. The approximately 1.0-1.1 km ² large, contiguous piece lies in the south of the catchment area from the nobility Bacher inn in it dominates the grassland across the fields.

Hiking trails

Average Adelbachtal draws a trail on the east side of the cooker from Schwäbisch Hall on the einkorn after Gaildorf. The entrance from the north is possible from the Bilz ago or even from Michel Bacher fairground on the expiring Kohlhäu peak forth through Ghöll. At the lower left of the creek homestead group of the valley trail to the flat -floor slope leaves after Gaildorf then in a southerly direction to the left up to a Linde Group at a stone cross west of Eutendorf.

On the East of the Kohlenstraße the Südsüdwesttal is best reached via the path on the crest of Mount Snow, now to the right, a branch of the descending almost to the Antebachtal to unite further down the road from the said festival grounds. From the summit of the noble mountain over an initially steep and unpaved Steigenweg further downhill to a water tank to the three villages on the western side of the river valley Ottendorfer.
