The cutting Heimer Sechta in Oberndorf am Ipf

The cutting Heimer Sechta ( back) joins the Eger (from left to front)

The cutting Heimer Sechta is a left tributary of Eger in Ostalb in Baden- Württemberg. Do not confuse it with the Röhlinger Sechta, which is a nearby tributary of the Jagst.

Course

The cutting Heimer Sechta springs northwest of Tannhausen, they soon reached in southeastern run. It flows thence in a southerly direction through the upper Unterschneidheim, Unterschneidheim and Oberndorf. In Bopfingen the cutting Heimer Sechta from the left opens into the here only 5.3 km long Eger.

In the upper section to the Tannhausen Sechta runs in a very shallow depression, from Tannhausen in a little sunken valley. From Unterschneidheim it widens into a broad, shallow depression. Only in the lowest part of the valley its edge is the reason his superior by about 200 m Ipf first steep, a witness of the Swabian Alb mountain, which the Sechta separates from the markedly lower Albvorland to leek Home Rottingen and Baldern Castle in its west.

Shore, the Sechta hardly occurs somewhere Forest. Erroneously, the cutting Heimer Sechta is often regarded as the upper reaches of Eger.
