Talbach (Ablach, Menningen)
Talbach is a stream in the Sigmaringen district in southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is a left tributary of the Ablach in Menningen. Geography Course The Talbach originates a quarter of a kilometre south of the village border of Engelswies, in the Inzigkofen municipality on the eastern slope of ''Talsberg'' at just 665 m above sea level in the middle of fields. First of all, flowing eastward, the stream creates a nearly one and a half kilometer long northern arc, and then it flows south. After continuing for almost the same distance again, mostly on the edge of the forests ''Kohlhau'' and ''Hartwald,'' it reaches the mouth of ''Kaibach'', the first major inlet, which joins the stream from the right as the Talbach enters the forest. Immediately afterwards the stream becomes a swampy brook . The stream sporadically emerges and disappears again, flowing through the valley section of the forest, and through the natural monument stone gutter ("Felsentäle") in the Hart ...

Ablach (Danube)
The Ablach is a right tributary of the Danube. It rises on the European Watershed, which is only a hint in this area, from the Mindersdorfer Aach in the municipality of Hohenfels in the Landkreis of Konstanz. It is about long. Geology During the Riss ice age, about 120,000 years ago, the Ablach flowed into the Danube at Engelswies, because its original valley was covered by the ice. The ice blocked the Danube, and the Danube formed a lake between Geisingen and Spaichingen. When the water level of this lake reached above mean sea level, it overflowed into the Neckar valley at Spaichingen. About 100,000 years ago, the ice melted and the Ablach took its current course.''Irgendwann auch ohne Eingriff dem Rhein zu'', in: ''Südkurier'' of 3 August 2003 Before it was straightened, the Ablach meandered through its valley. The Ablach Valley in the broadest sense is the area between the Großer Heuberg in the north and the Linzgau in the south Course The upper rea ...

Stream
A stream is a continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to by a variety of local or regional names. Long large streams are usually called rivers, while smaller, less voluminous and more intermittent streams are known as streamlets, brooks or creeks. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface runoff (from precipitation or meltwater), daylighting (streams), daylighted subterranean river, subterranean water, and surfaced groundwater (Spring (hydrology), spring water). The surface and subterranean water are highly variable between periods of rainfall. Groundwater, on the other hand, has a relatively constant input and is controlled more by long-term patterns of precipitation. The stream encompasses surface, subsurface and groundwater fluxes that respond to geological, geomorphological, hydrological and biotic controls. Streams are importan ...

Natural Monument
A natural monument is a natural or natural/cultural feature of outstanding or unique value because of its inherent rarity, representative of aesthetic qualities or cultural significance. Under World Commission on Protected Areas guidelines, natural monuments are level III, described as: :"Areas are set aside to protect a specific natural monument, which can be a landform, sea mount, submarine cavern, geological feature such as a cave or even a living feature such as an ancient grove. They are generally quite small protected areas and often have high visitor value." This is a lower level of protection than level II (national parks) and level I (wilderness areas). The European Environment Agency's guidelines for selection of a natural monument are: * The area should contain one or more features of outstanding significance. Appropriate natural features include waterfalls, caves, craters, fossil beds, sand dunes and marine features, along with unique or representative fauna and fl ...
