Wehra Reservoir
Wehra is a river of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It passes through Todtmoos and Wehr and flows into the Rhine downstream of Bad Säckingen. Geography Location and topography The valley of the Wehra is distinctly divided into three sections. The upper reaches are a high valley typical of the Black Forest, but at 200 to 300 meters deep, they are significantly more relief-like than the neighboring high valleys of the Hotzenwald to the east. Its center is the village of Todtmoos, which occupies the largest part of the valley, which was noticeably reshaped by ice-age glaciers. In its middle course, the Wehra cuts a gorge, sometimes over 400 meters deep, into the southwestern slopes of the Black Forest. Steep, wooded slopes alternate with cliffs almost 100 meters high in some places. This steep section of the river is a nationally renowned, extremely difficult whitewater stretch. A rocky outcrop there bears the name ''Hirschsprung (''Stag's Leap). The approximately seven-kilom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

States Of Germany
The Federal Republic of Germany is a federation and consists of sixteen partly sovereign ''states''. Of the sixteen states, thirteen are so-called area-states ('Flächenländer'); in these, below the level of the state government, there is a division into local authorities (counties and county-level cities) that have their own administration. Two states, Berlin and Hamburg, are city-states, in which there is no separation between state government and local administration. The state of Bremen (state), Bremen is a special case: the state consists of the cities of Bremen (city), Bremen, for which the state government also serves as the municipal administration, and Bremerhaven, which has its own local administration separate from the state government. It is therefore a mixture of a city-state and an area-state. Three states, Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia, use the appellation ("free state"); this title is merely stylistic and carries no legal or political significance (similar t ...
