in the heights above Schwenenbach and Lutzingen, and
from Oberglauh flows into the Danube in a single channel.
At the mouth the breadth is no more than twelve feet. Near
the confluence is Blenheim, which is divided from the Nebel
by a narrow slip of swelling ground; while behind the vil-
lage commences a flat eminence or table land, which, ex-
panding as it bends towards Oberglauh, slopes gently on the
right, and is bounded on the north-west by the range of
woody hills above Lutzingen. In the lower, or south-eastern
part of this eminence, rises a streamlet called the Meulweyer,
which, flowing through Blenheim in a double channel, is
soon lost in the Danube.

Nearly two miles above Blenheim is Oberglauh, seated on
the acclivity, about musket shot from the Nebel, and on the
opposite side is Unterglauh, standing on the very brink of
the stream. The ground bordering the Nebel, particularly
between Oberglauh and Blenheim, is generally marshy, and
in many places impassable. Below Unterglauh the morass
expands to a considerable breadth, and nearer Blenheim is a
species of islet, formed by a channel cut into the boggy soil,
for the purpose of receiving the superfluous water from a
spring which rises near the foot of the acclivity. On the
main stream, a little above Blenheim, are two water-mills,
which were well adapted to serve as redoubts for impeding
the passage. Between Unterglauh and Blenheim, near the
point of the islet, is a stone bridge, over which runs the great
road from Donawerth to Dillingen.

Higher up, in the gorge of the mountains, about a mile to
the east of Oberglauh, is Lutzingen, bordered on the north
and east, within musket shot, by woods and ravines.

On the left of the Nebel the plain is uneven, and partly
covered with brush-wood. In the vicinity of Schwenen-
bach and Berghausen the ground becomes more undulating.
Near Weilheim it rises into a gentle elevation, and consists
of arable land as far as the village of Krenheim, which bor-
ders on the Danube.
