How a river created a small nature paradise in Upper Swabia - Wie ein Fluss in Oberschwaben ein kleines Naturparadies schuf [EN/DE]

Hey Steemians,

Today I want to share with you a little paradise in my homeland in Upper Swabia. A small nature fun pool which was formed by the river Schussen. 🌊


Heute möchte ich euch von einem kleinen Natur-Paradies in meiner Heimat in Oberschwaben berichten. Ein kleines Natur-Spassbad das sich durch den Fluss Schussen gebildet hat. 🌊

Only when Upper Swabia finally became ice-free about 12,000 years ago the river Schussen finds their way south to Lake Constance. The large difference in slope of 80m between a distance of only 10km led to the fact that in a short time a very distinctive valley cut with steep slopes and narrow valley floor has formed - the Schussentobel was built. 🌅


Erst als vor ca. 12.000 Jahren Oberschwaben endgültig eisfrei wurde, fand die Ur-Schussen ihren Weg nach Süden zum Bodensee. Der große Gefällsunterschied von 80m zwischen einer Stecke von nur 10km führte dazu, dass sich hier in kurzer Zeit ein sehr markanter Taleinschnitt mit steilen Hängen und schmalem Talboden gebildet hat – der Schussentobel. 🌅

To lay the rails for the railway in 1848, the workers had to intervene very intensely in the natural space Schussentobel. The course of the river was laid and straightened and the marshy ground was drained. 🚃


Um die Schienen für die Eisenbahn zu verlegen, mussten die Arbeiter 1848 sehr intensiv in den Naturraum Schussentobel eingreifen. Der Flusslauf wurde verlegt und begradigt sowie der sumpfige Untergrund entwässert. 🚃

The straightening of the river Schussen shortened the running distance in this section by about 20%. As a result, gradients and erosion power increased significantly. Within a short time, the straightened river cut again into the rocky ground and thus created the 5-6m deep nature fun pool, the Felsenbädle (rock bath). 🌊


Durch die Begradigung der Schussen verkürzte sich die Laufstrecke in diesem Abschnitt um rund 20%. Dadurch nahmen Gefälle und Erosionskraft deutlich zu. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit schnitt sich der begradigte Fluss erneut in den felsigen Untergrund und so entstand das 5-6m tiefe Felsenbädle. 🌊

After heavy rains, the nature fun pool Felsenbädle has always been a popular place to recover from the stresses of everyday life and to cool down. 👍 😊


Nach ergiebigen Regengüsse war das Natur-Spassbad Felsenbädle immer schon ein beliebter Ort, um sich von den Strapazen des Alltags zu erholen und sich Abkühlung zu verschaffen. 👍 😊
