Stream Nature and catchment area

By Bach straightening, which already begins shortly after the source, the Schwarzenbach riverbed can hardly make. Only after Untermooweiler accompanied more numerous woody his previously rather bare, grave -like run and then the stream has on a short forest passage also an opportunity to unfold.

The 14.7 km ² catchment area is a southwest racing stripe of about achteinviertel kilometers in length and not more than two and a half miles wide between the mostly parallel runs of receiving Upper Argen in the northwest and the Leiblach in the southeast.
