geography

course

The Ahlersbach rises at an altitude of about 478  m above sea level. NHN a good kilometer west of the Sinntaler district Weiperz in a meadow on the northern edge of a mixed forest.

It flows in a northerly direction first through forest and then through fields and meadows. It now changes its direction to the north-west and then runs through grassland on the north-east edge of the village that is part of Schlüchtern and named after him . A little further down the stream it turns sharply to the north-northeast and is then strengthened by the Lietebach near a small pond west of the vineyard . The Ahlersbach now runs first through forest and then turning more and more to the north through grassland.

About a kilometer later it reaches the southern edge of the Schlüchtern district of Herolz . It passes the southern part of the village and finally flows out at an altitude of about 227  m above sea level. NHN in the left main arm of the Kinzig divided there .

Its 5.5 km long run ends about 251 meters below its source, so it has a mean bed gradient of about 46 ‰.
