Leutra Stream
Highlight • River
The Leutra initially flows east-northeast and digs deeper and deeper into the Schwabhäuser Grund. Before it enters the valley forest, it experiences an inflow from the Schlettweiner Born on the right slope. The Weimar–Gera railway line descends from start to finish along the stream into the valley. Immediately after passing under the B 7 at about 294 m, a shorter northern branch runs along the federal road, also named Leutra, which converges in a valley spider about one kilometer further north from three source streams. The combined Leutra now flows east-southeast through the Mühltal, accompanied by the railway line and the main road, initially still in the forest along the municipal boundary from Großschwabhausen to Jena, then through the open valley floor under forest slopes. At a slightly offset valley spider already in the Jena area, streams run from the Rosental from the left and then from the Münchenrodaer Grund from the right, both notched valleys like that of the Leutra itself.
Soon after, the creek reaches the settlement limit of Jena. After the dry valley Cospedaer Grund has entered from the left, the valley floor widens and flattens out, especially on the left, and the buildings become wider and denser. At Carl-Zeiss-Platz, the Leutra disappears in a dolung under Ernst-Haeckel-Straße, from which it only emerges again at Erbertstraße. Now it passes under the Saalbahn at the edge to the parks in the Saaletalgrund and then flows from the left and at about 143 m between the Rasenmühleninsel and Paradies into the middle Saale, about 200 meters east of Alexander-Puschkin-Platz and a little more southwest of the Paradies station.
