Suhl (Weihe)

BW

The Suhl, also called the lower reaches roadstead ditch, is a 10.5 km long, right or western tributary of the consecration in Hersfeld -Rotenburg district in Hesse and the Wartburg in Thuringia. It is not to be confused with the nearby right Werra tributary Suhl.

The actually 10.5 km long Suhl, together with its left source Bach Pfaffengraben ( 2.9 km ) 13.4 km and with its right source Bach Stubbach ( 3.4 km ) 13.9 km long. With a catchment area of ​​38 km ², it is the actual main flow in the river system of consecration that only approximately 24.5 km ² contributes to the association, ie 40 to 60%.

As the very name expresses roadstead ditch, it can be assumed that the lower reaches of Suhl was artificially altered by hydraulic engineering, that is, the mouth of the consecration has no natural origin.
