BW

The Ulfenbach is a river in southern Hesse and Baden- Württemberg, which combines with the Finke Bach in deer horn for Laxbach, there soon opens out into the Neckar.

Geography

The Ulfenbach rises in the Odenwald district Hammelbach the community Grasellenbach to about 500 m above sea level near the Weschnitzquelle and is eponymous for the beginning there Ulfenbachtal, which mostly runs in a southerly direction. It flows through or touches the towns Hammelbach Scharbach, Elections (all community Grasellenbach ) Affolterbach, Aschbach, forest -Michel Bach, Upper Schönmattenwag and sub ​​- Schönmattenwag (all Wald- Michel Bach), then in a small arc occurs by the Hessian circle mountain road westward dip in the Baden-Württemberg Rhein- Neckar-Kreis about, where it flows through town and municipality Heddesbach, reached in from now on constant south-southeast direction with the town of Langenthal the territory of the Hessian town of Hirschhorn and finally Hirschhorn itself it flows here after 30 kilometers run with the Finke river at about 130 m above sea level to Laxbach together, which flows already about 700 m further into the Neckar.

The first major left tributary elections coming from grass - Ellenbach is performed in official works than the actual headwaters of the Ulfenbach, even though it is a few hundred meters shorter than the springing at Hammelbach and referred to in the same works Hammelbach watercourse.

The other major Ulfenbach inflows are from source to mouth, from the right, Michel Bach and the Gritzenbach in forest -Michel Bach, from left, the Dürr Ellenbach at Oberschönmattenwag, from the right Holmbach shortly before the passage of the Ulfenbachs on Heddesbacher district. Its catchment area is approximately 96 km ², and has the shape of a narrow, slightly meandering south and narrowing tube of 5 ½ to 2 ½ miles wide. In the northeast the watershed to the Mümling inflows runs east to Finke stream and its tributaries, mostly in the south to the river Neckar itself, in the south-west and west to Steinach and its tributary streams, in the north- west and north to Weschnitz system.

The Ulfenbachtal is deeply incised in the lower reaches, even formed in the bottom from Langenthal as narrow V-shaped valley. The slopes are mostly covered in forest. In the upper reaches, however, there are sections with wide bottom and the wide flat side slopes up open hallway. Almost the entire length follows a road to the stream (L 3345, L 3105 from elections ); because of the steep landscape reliefs are in this field almost parallel to the Neckar running north-south valleys of the Odenwald preferred access axes. Together with its tributary streams draining the Ulfenbach the field of high forest to the Neckar. It is sparsely populated and densely wooded.

Variable name use

The names Ulfenbach and Laxbach be used by various of quite staggering and downright confusing. Today's survey maps show the naming Laxbach, alternatively (in parentheses) to Ulfenbach or alone, far beyond the point of confluence of Ulfenbach and Finke river upstream to about Affolterbach, but underestimates each other very uneven. Similar to Internet publications of the Hessian State Office for Environment and Geology.

On a " block map of the district Hirschhorn " of 1846 " Laxe Bach" only begins with the confluence of Ulfenbach and Finke Bach at Hirschhorn. Locals follow the same language.

At the headwaters of two major source branches a north-western, longer and more water leading from Hammelbach ago, a northern sawmill coming from grass Ellenbacher unite in elections. Also, this branch can be found sometimes named as Ulfenbach.
