Felda (Werra)

The Felda in Stadtlengsfeld

The Felda is a good 40 km long left tributary of the river Werra in the west of Thuringia. The running from south to north river is next to the west parallel Ulster and the still more western Haune the most important internal flow of the Rhön, the Talung separates the front Rhön in the east of Auersberger Kuppenrhön in the West ( see natural areas ).

Course

The official source of Felda is located immediately south of Erbenhausen the saddle between the Stellberg (662 m ) in the south and the Old Mark ( 676 m ) in the north to about 520 m altitude in the immediate vicinity of Herpf source. A second left source stream rises in about 676 m on the eastern slope of the elbow (813 m) and passes immediately above the confluence of the place Reichenhausen.

After a course along the federal highway 285 about Kaltensundheim Kaltennordheim, Fischbach / Rhön, Diedorf, Neidhartshausen and Dermbach to Hartford shrinkage and further along the country road 1022 Weilar, Stadtlengsfeld, Menzengraben and Dietlas the Felda finally flows into Dorndorf into the Werra.

The route of the former Feldabahn accompanied between Kaltennordheim and Dorndorf their eponymous river and crosses it several times.

Tributaries

The Feldatal is a two part landscapes of Kuppenrhön which the Rhön Front in the east and the Auersberger Kuppenrhön in the west, separating hollow which is reported as a single natural space. The orography is accordingly rather than herringbone fan shape.

The following tributaries are worth mentioning:

Tributaries of higher order

The main tributaries of the second order:

  • Become houses water (right, 3.0 km; Wiesenthal )
  • Edelsbach (right, 3.1 km; Friedrichshof, unterh. Wiesenthal )
  • Frog Bach (right, 4.0 km; Bernhausen, unterh. Urnshausens )
  • Beautifully Seebach (right, 3.0 miles)

The Steinbach drained almost half of the watershed of Schmerbachs, while all other tributaries listed here second order of hydrologically rather minor importance.

Natural areas

The bordered in red sandstone valley of Felda is of particular importance for the natural spatial structure of the Kuppenrhön and the north and east subsequent salt Unger Werra mountain country.

The Middle Feldatal of Kaltensundheim to the crossing of the Baier- Pless - threshold at Urnshausen hard shrinkage below Dermbachs is a natural spatial unit of the front and Kuppenrhön and separates up to 751 m high front Rhön in the east of the to 757 m high Auersberger Kuppenrhön in the West.

The Lower Feldatal to Dorndorf is the opposite, a sub - space nature of the whole standing on red sandstone city Lengsfelder hill country.

Flora and Fauna

When fish populations predominate in the upper reaches of brown trout and in the middle and lower reaches of grayling.

Energy

Traditionally Felda is used for energy production. Defense system with the currently used water turbines are, inter alia, in Dermbach, Weilar, Dietlas and Dorndorf. As part of a pilot project for the implementation of the European Water Framework Directive in the years 2004-2008 unused by the Free State of Thuringia back weirs constructed (for example in Stadtlengsfeld ) or ecologically consistent design (eg in Weilar and Dorndorf ).
