Geography

Source and course

The Klopfer Bach built on about 457 m above sea level. NN in the north of the Riet Auer boundaries of the municipality Unteraspach in the forest monk Won Garden, only 300 meters northeast of the clearing around the monk's house and then 200 meters south of the high street. In rapidly eintiefender Blade of young brook running over to the south at said clearing, where he picks up right the first more significant inflow from a local source, then turns southwest and passes through the monk blade. At the end, he passes into the hallway and takes between Edemer Mountain in the west and Steinberg in the east of the right about one kilometer long mountain pig Klingenbachstrasse on, the south also produced the high road on the slopes of the mountain pig.

From now on the Klopfer creek flows in a southerly direction only through the hallway of the bay Heiligentals, opens at the end of the right resulting in the wooded Kreuzhalde, about 1.9 km long Jettenbach. In then open, rolling countryside and accompanied by a series of wood he reached the Aspacher Teilort Rietenau and takes after his crossing of the left 3.5 km long parallel in the village Forstbach on. In the following thereafter, right on the hillside of the K - 1828 Rietenau Großaspach accompanied wide valley turn right on a 1.3 km long canal, which flows back to the United Aspacher Stegmühle in the creek. Shortly thereafter flows from the right of the 4.2 km long Allmersbach, which rises on the western edge of the Kreuzhalde at Vordervöhrenberg and in between the Aspacher Teilort Allmersbach passes through the vineyard.

Then crosses the Klopfer Bach Großaspach, the largest Teilort the community Unteraspach, and occurs below this village in a tight, getting steeper nascent and possibly serviced by dirt tracks Muschelkalktal one in which he claimed the United Aspacher Talmuhle then in the Town Backnang to its initially only left neighboring shaft moves on to the south. Here it flows past the places under and Mittelschöntal on the right slope, the opposite slope is forested again. Last of all he still feeds a 1.3 -acre artificial lake at the foot of Oberschöntal and then opens after a run of 10.2 km to 226.1 m above sea level. NN in wooded estuary from the right in a northern arc of the Murr between Backnang and Postal.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​17.0 km ² includes Bach's Klopfer between the southern heights of Löwenstein Mountains in the north and the Murr in the south. It has approximately the shape of a slender funnel. At about 3.5 km widest point in the north it borders on the bow of the High Street and narrows toward the south to about Großaspach to a width of about 1.5 km, which then keeps it almost to the mouth. The north -south axis does not quite reach 8.5 km in length.

In the north of the catchment area of ​​the Löwenstein Mountains passing Lauter borders, in the northeast of the respective short Oppenweiler Rohrbach and Backnanger Eckert Bach. Behind the next longest part of the eastern boundary almost to Murr competes Krähenbach that pulls in shorter barrel parallel to the Murr.

From the mouth up into their north west rivals the watershed of the also quite due south flowing to the Murr Wüstebach.

Towns

In the valley of Klopfer Bach lie on the upper and middle reaches successively Rietenau that Stegmühle, ( almost ) Großaspach itself and the Talmuhle, all belonging to the municipality Unteraspach. In the Valley of the biggest influx of Allmersbach Teilort Allmersbach is located on the vineyard, continue uphill drained even the settlement site Vordervöhrenberg into Allmersbachtal.

Geology

The Mallets creek rises in Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation) of the upper middle Keuper, passes before the inlet of the pig mountain blade Bach the Schilfsandstein ( Stuttgart Formation ) and then remains approximately up to the inlet of the Allmersbachs in Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ). With entry into the undulating landscape of Backnanger bay at Rietenau loess lies on the accompanying hills, the creek itself has deposited here in a broad trough partly down to Talmuhle of Großaspach floodplain sediments. After Allmersbach is on the right slope of the Lettenkeuper a (Erfurt Formation), which stretches on this side almost to the mouth. From the Talmuhle the valley lies to the mouth of the Upper Muschelkalk, which then occupies both slopes in the estuary.

In Rietenau a partially proven southwest - northeast fault crosses the valley at the inlet of the Allmersbachs an east-west, both of which belong to the Association of Neckar -Jagst furrow.
