Summary edit

Description
English: Valley of the northern end of the Danube tributary Lauchert, as seen from "Stetten unter Holstein", where the tributary "Erpf" flows into the Lauchert from the right, Swabian Alb.
Extremely strong headward erosion of the Rhine tributary "Steinlach" created a wind gap at the "Albtrauf" (cuesta of the Swabian Alb, far end of image, not visible).
The former upper Lauchert, once a huge river (de:Urlauchert), was totally stripped off by the "Steinlach". The Lauchert is nowadays a misfit stream. Also, reletively strong denudation of the visible terrain and the terrain W of the elevation widened the valley even more.
Deutsch: Oberstes Laucherttal. Blick nach N von Stetten unter Holstein bis Melchingen: Tal eines ehemals großen, weit über den heutigen Albtrauf hinausreichenden Ur-Flusses (Urlauchert). Der Fluss wurde durch drei Arme des vordringenden Rheintributars "Steinlach" "geköpft". Hier fließt heute nur noch ein kleines, oft trockenfallendes, Rinnsal. Rechts außerhalb des Bildes: Tal mit Einmündung der kleinen, aber ständig wasserführenden Erpf.
Zur Breite des Tales hat auch flächenhafte Abtragung der obersten Juraschichten bis hinunter zu "Wohlgeschichtete Kalk-Formation" (ox2) beigetragen. Diese „Schichtflächenalb“, schließt unmittelbar an die Kuppenalb an.
