Geography

Ziegelbach source

It rises in the Ziegelbach source, a karst spring at Ziegelhofstraße far from the main European watershed. Just 2 km further north lies the origin of the black stove which flows across the Rhine to the North Sea. while the Ziegelbach water on the Brenz and the Danube reaches the Black Sea.

The spring water flows from a cleft in the rock. By contrast water testing a compound of Ziegelbach source was detected with the willing hole, a sinkhole on the opposite slope of the Wollenberg (710 m above sea level. NN ), which is about 2 km north-west and 62 m penetrates the limestones of the Swabian Alb.

Course

The Ziegelbach already takes 200 m of the origin of the left half a mile long Seegartenhofgraben on, the zoom moves through the remarkably wide, nor created by the Urbrenz gap through the Alps in a flat, straight run from the north. Then it flows even schlingenlos herein in southern directions and disappears at the entrance of Königsbronn in a tube in which it passes through the greater part of the village. Only at Königsbronn monastery he steps into the open again and then flows immediately from the left in the young Brenz, which itself is only 200 meters earlier springs from the Hot Pot.
