geography
The fishing rod rises about 1 km north of Vellern at an altitude of 132 m above sea level. NN . The spring itself is a pond. The water from the lower soil layers collects there before it runs off as a trickle. From here it goes to the northwest, but changes direction often.
First the river flows around Neubeckum in the north and then flows to Enniger . Shortly before reaching the outskirts, the fishing rod picks up the Biesterbach on the right. Enniger is passed on the southern outskirts. The Hellbach flows a few kilometers downstream on the left . At the hamlet of Watermann, the Nienholtbach also flows to the left of the Angel. East of Sendenhorst , the course turns in a northerly direction so that the village is not affected. At the hamlet of Witte the Vossbach and a little later the Wieninger Bach flow out on the right . In the following section to Wolbeck the river has been straightened. Wolbeck itself has a winding flow. In the place the Piepenbach flows into the Angel, which a little later even in Angelmodde at 48 m above sea level. NN flows into the Werse on the right .
On its 38.2 km long path, the Angel overcomes a difference in altitude of 84 m, which corresponds to an average bed gradient of 2.2 ‰. It drains a catchment area of 195.134 km².
