Schemmerbach

BW

The Schemmerbach, also called Schemmer, is a 10.9 km long right and a southwesterly flow of the weirs in the Werra- Meißner-Kreis in the north-eastern part of northern Hesse ( Germany ).

Course

The Schemmerbach rises in the southwest part of the Werra -Meißner -Kreis in Stölzinger Mountains. Its source is located southwest of Stölzingen, an estate in the south-western area of forest Kappel. Around 1 km west of the summit Stölzinger ( 473.9 m above sea level. NHN ) they entfließt near the state road 3226 a small pond at about 387 m altitude.

Initially, the entirely along the L 3226 running in natural environment Schemmerbachgrund Schemmerbach flows north-north- eastward to Gehau, a southeastern suburb of Forest Kappel. After flowing through the village, the river runs, still in the forest Kappeler area, north to Schemmern from where on it northeastward flows Burghofen. To the west above the now -seeking Friemen Bach runs henceforth the route of the disused section Spangenberg Forest Kappel of Kanonenbahn.

Finally, the Schemmerbach opens directly after flowing through the forest Kappeler core city to around 225 m in the Werra tributary weirs.
