Diemerstein Forest
Diemerstein Forest (german: Diemersteiner Wald) is a part of the Palatine Forest, a mountainous region within the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It has an area of about 50 km². Geography The Diemerstein Forest lies in the north of the Palatine Forest, north of the hamlet of Diemerstein, which belongs to the municipality of Frankenstein ( Enkenbach-Alsenborn collective municipality, Kaiserslautern district). The Autobahn 6 motorway from Saarbrücken to Mannheim runs for just under 10 km through the northern part of the forest, reaching its highest point at 403 metres above sea level (NN) for this section. The forest is bounded roughly by the B 37 federal highway from Kaiserslautern to Bad Dürkheim in the south, by the B 48 from Rockenhausen to Annweiler in the west and by the ''Landesstraße 395'' state road, that links Enkenbach-Alsenborn and Grünstadt, in the north. In the east near Carlsberg the Diemerstein Forest has not visible ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Landesstraße
''Landesstraßen'' (singular: ''Landesstraße'') are roads in Germany and Austria that are, as a rule, the responsibility of the respective German or Austrian federal state. The term may therefore be translated as "state road". They are roads that cross the boundary of a rural or urban district (''Landkreis'' or ''Kreisfreie Stadt''). A ''Landesstraße'' is thus less important than a ''Bundesstraße'' or federal road, but more significant than a ''Kreisstraße'' or district road. The classification of a road as a ''Landesstraße'' is a legal matter (''Widmung''). In the free states of Bavaria and Saxony – but not, however, in the Free State of Thuringia – ''Landesstraßen'' are known as ''Staatsstraßen''. Designation The abbreviation for a ''Landesstraße'' consists of a prefixed capital letter ''L'' and a serial number (e. g. L 1, L 83, L 262 or L 3190). ''Staatsstraßen'' in Saxony are similarly abbreviated using a capital ''S'' (e. g. S 190) and the ''Staatsstraßen' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hochspeyerbach
The Hochspeyerbach is a long river in the Palatinate forest in Rhineland-Palatinate and a left tributary of the Speyerbach. Course The Hochspeyerbach rises in the municipality Hochspeyer in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool. In earlier times the river was dammed about from the source, and this reservoir was the swimming pool. The water of the newly reconstructed habitat spring pond is fed into a pipe system by an overflow drain. About east of the pond, the river flows freely again, to the east, parallel to the Palatine Ludwig Railway through the village of Hochspeyer. After crossing the railway loop connecting the Ludwig Railway to the Alsenztalbahn, it takes up the river Fischbach from the left. A few kilometers further, it flows through the former Franzosenwoog reservoir. At the entrance to Frankenstein, it takes up the Glasbach from the left, coming from the Diemerstein Valley. In the village of Frankenstein makes a noticeable change of direction and sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Speyerbach
The Speyerbach is a left tributary of the Rhine in the Palatinate part of Rhineland-Palatinate. In Speyer, the river split into ''Gießhübelbach'' and ''Woogbach''. The Woogbach changes its name to ''Nonnenbach'', then flows into Gießhübelbach shortly before the latter flows into the Rhine. Importance Although only classified as a river of the third rank under German river classification system, the Speyerbach is the largest river of the Anterior Palatinate. It is long; its catchment area is ; its discharge varies between . In extreme weather conditions with heavy rain in a short time, the discharge may be much higher; the highest peak was on 25 May 1978. Course The nominal source of the Speyerbach is located near the hamlet of Speyerbrunn in the municipality of Elmstein, in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, east of the Palatine Watershed. It has an elevation of AMSL; the surrounding Frankenweide hills climbing up to in height ( Eschkopf). Soon after it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eckbach (Palatinate)
The Eckbach (locally known as the Eck and in the lower reaches also as Neugraben or Leiniger Graben) is a small river in the northeastern Palatinate and the southeastern Rhenish Hesse. It is slightly over long. Name Linguistic Research into the old name of ''die Eck'' shows that it is related to the Upper German word ''Ache'', which means "river" or "creek" and is derived from the Old High German ''aha''. In the Middle Ages, the river was known as ''Leinbach''. This name refers to the ''Leinbaum'', that is, the Lime tree (''Tilia × europaea'' L., not related to the ''Citrus aurantifolia'', the tree that produces the lime (fruit)). In those days, both the Norway Maple (''Acer platanoides'') and the Large-leaved Linden (''Tilia platyphyllos'') were called ''Leinbaum'' in German. Both species were common on the banks of the Eckbach. One difference between the species is the shape of the leaves: maple leaves are five lobed, lime leaves are undivided. The coat of arms of t ...

Catchment Area (river)
A drainage basin is an area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean. A basin is separated from adjacent basins by a perimeter, the ''drainage divide'', made up of a succession of elevated features, such as ridges and hills. A basin may consist of smaller basins that merge at river confluences, forming a hierarchical pattern. Other terms for a drainage basin are catchment area, catchment basin, drainage area, river basin, water basin, and impluvium. In North America, they are commonly called a watershed, though in other English-speaking places, "watershed" is used only in its original sense, that of a drainage divide. In a closed drainage basin, or endorheic basin, the water converges to a single point inside the basin, known as a sink, which may be a permanent lake, a dry lake, or a point where surface water is lost underground. Drainage basins are similar but no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drainage Divide
A drainage divide, water divide, ridgeline, watershed, water parting or height of land is elevated terrain that separates neighboring drainage basins. On rugged land, the divide lies along topographical ridges, and may be in the form of a single range of hills or mountains, known as a dividing range. On flat terrain, especially where the ground is marshy, the divide may be difficult to discern. A triple divide is a point, often a summit, where three drainage basins meet. A ''valley floor divide'' is a low drainage divide that runs across a valley, sometimes created by deposition or stream capture. Major divides separating rivers that drain to different seas or oceans are continental divides. The term ''height of land'' is used in Canada and the United States to refer to a drainage divide. It is frequently used in border descriptions, which are set according to the "doctrine of natural boundaries". In glaciated areas it often refers to a low point on a divide where it is ...

Isenach
The Isenach is a left tributary of the Rhine in the northeastern Palatine region of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is nearly long. Course The Isenach rises in the northern Palatinate Forest, southwest of Carlsberg Hertlingshausen. Its source in the Diemerstein Forest on the southeast flank of a saddle between the peaks Krummes Eck, elevation , and Hohe Bühl, elevation , is marked with Ritterstein number 277, with the inscription "Isenach source". The first of the river flow in a southeasterly direction. After the Isenach passes the Isenachweiher reservoir, it flows east through a valley it shares with Bundesstraße 37, Kaiserslautern-Bad Dürkheim. In Bad Dürkheim, the Isenach breaks through the Haardt, the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest, and enters the hills flanking the German Wine Road. It the flows northeast through the Upper Rhine Plain. Between Lambsheim and the Frankenthal district of Eppstein, the Isenach is joined by the Floßbach from the right. In th ...

Eisbach (Rhine)
The Eisbach, locally known as , is a long river and left or western tributary of the Rhine in the northeastern Palatinate and southeastern Rhenish Hesse, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Course The largest of the seven springs of the Eisbach is at an elevation of about above sea level on the northern slope of the Hohe Bühl mountain, , in the northern Palatinate Forest, southwest of Ramsen. After about two kilometres, the seven streams unite in the Eiswoog reservoir. At the hamlet of ''Kleehof'', the long Bockbach flows in from the right. Here, the direction of the river changes from straight north to northeast. The direction remains northeast until the confluence with the Rhine. The river then flows past Ramsen and Eisenberg. Below Ebertsheim, it receives the long Seltenbach from the right and a few metres further, its largest tributary, the Rodenbach from the left. At Asselheim, a ward of Grünstadt, the Eisbach reaches the Upper Rhine Valley. It then fl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
