Lauter (Hasel)

Old Malt House and the volume in Suhl

The Lauter is on the Goldlauter 10.5 km long river in the territory of the city of Suhl in Thuringia. Nominally, it is a (right ) side of the river Werra tributary hazel, which, however, the association brings significantly less water than the volume. Nevertheless, the Lauter, considered strictly hydrologically, not the main flow of the hazel - system because the distinctly below the hazel from right accruing Schwarza again brings more water than the hazel to get there, see here.

Course

The Lauter springs west of the decorations and south of the snow head close to the county boundary to the Ilm-Kreis.

The creek eventually flows towards the southwest through the district Goldlauter and beyond the core urban area after Henry, where it flows from the right into the hazel.

Characteristics

Hydrogeological and natural environments the volume as well as all significant tributaries is almost completely in the actual Thuringian Forest; only the immediate run- mouth runs red sandstone foothills. This rich many streams of the river system, as well as the actual Quellauf, right up to the Rennsteig and the Elbe -Weser watershed and its notched sole valleys cut deep to over 200 m a.

The creek Mühlwasser, which opens from the right in the volume in the north of Suhl, brings about the same amount of water as the volume up to union with itself ( see here).

The character as a means mountain stream is accordingly the average bed slope of the Lauter at least about 4.7 %, the average runoff ( Mq ) remarkable 21.9 l / skm ².
