geography

course

It rises in the Küttiger municipality at 700 m above sea level in a Jura high valley southwest of the peaks Wasserflue (865 m) and Wilenberg (803 m) and northeast of the Erlinsbach town of Hard. At its upper reaches it is also called Wilenbergbach. About two and a half kilometers it flows between two ridges of the mountains to the east to the inlet of the much shorter left Fischbach and then breaks in the Bänker chlus in a steady southeast direction from now on through the right of the Jura ridges . After the bend in the run, it runs through the settlement area of ​​Küttigen, initially under the name Vorstadtbach, almost lengthways. The longest tributary, the Horenbach, flows deep in the lower reaches in front of the outdoor swimming pool, coming from the north through the Asperchlus. The Aabach itself finally flows below the village at 360 m above sea level at Küttigen-Schürmatt from the northwest into the left, northwest arm of the Aare , 41.6 km before it joins the Rhine .
