Geography

Brühlbach sources

The sources of Brühl creek located approximately 150 m southwest of the Urach waterfall. There are several karst springs, which emerge in a rugged tufa plateau. The water comes from the high surface to Würtingen. There rainwater seeps through the calcareous rock layers. In this case, the carbonated water absorbs calcium and accumulates on the underlying impervious layer of marl. About 28 hours after its percolation occurs, the water in the Brühlbach sources back to light. The bed varies depending on the weather and season of approximately 70 l / s to 420 l / s In hot summers, the sources may dry up even.

Course

After his source of Brühlbach the Urach waterfall crashes down. Below it is amplified by other sources. It flows mainly in the north and the Brühl - after receiving the goods from the goods Steinbach Wasserfall - the Maisental. Near the level of Bad Urach on the northwestern edge of the city of Brühlbach leads into Erin's.

In the south and southwest the terrain drained on the Alb plateau on the Gächinger Loud and Grosse Lauter ultimately to the Danube.
