Summary edit

Description
Deutsch: Als Geotop und Naturdenkmal geschützte Karstquelle, „Schmiechursprung“ im oberen Schmiechtal, Schwäbische Alb. Das unterschiedlich stark schüttende Karstwasser hat eine groß wirkende Quellnische (Breite ca. 3,5m, Höhe ca. 2,5 m, Tiefe ca. 3 m) in die steile Kalksteinwand des hier gebankten Kalksteins der Unteren Felsenkalk-Formation geschaffen. Die oberen 5 km des „Mühltals“ bis zur Quelle sind ein ca.150 m steil abfallendes, ruhiges Trockental. Das ca. 4 km lange, enge „Obere Schmiechtal“ von der Quelle bis Hütten ist reich an landschaftlich interessanten und geologisch wichtigen Formen. Weiße Felsen aus Oberjura-Massenkalk im Niveau der Unteren und Oberen Felsenkalk-Formation (ki2, ki3) säumen die Steilhänge. 10 km, ein Teil des Trockentals und die Nordseite des Tals der Schmiech bis Hütten sind daher auch seit 2001 als „Naturschutzgebiet Oberes Schmiechtal“ (artenreiche Wacholderheiden, artenreiche Waldgesellschaften, das Feuchtgebiet „Talwiesen“) ausgewiesen.

English: Protected Geotope and Natural monument “Schmiechursprung”, a karst spring of rivulet “Schmiech” (flowing into Danube), Swabian Alb. The spring caved a large niche (ca. 3,5 m broad, ca. 2,5 m high, ca. 3 m depth) into the steep rockwall of limestone of the South German White Jurassic. The 5 km “Mühltal” above the spring is a steep-sided dry valley. 10 km altogether, part of the dry valley above the spring and the part of the rivulet-valley to the village “Hütten” are a Naturschutzgebiet, which is protected for its species-richness of fauna-flora-habitats on juniper heaths, forest ecosystems and wet meadows in the valley.
