geography
course
The Apfelbach begins as an overflow at a tipping structure of the Mühlbach in the Gräfenhausen district between Sensfelder Hof and Ottilienmühle near the city limits of Darmstadt-Wixhausen . This first part of the stream bed was artificially created a long time ago to relieve the Mühlbach and leads the water away in a northerly direction. Because of the water overflow on the Mühlbach, the new body of water was initially called Abfallbach and it then became Apfelbach .
After a two-and-a-half kilometer run along the south and west edge of the forest known as Sensfelder Hardt and along the east bank of the Steinrodsee , the Apfelbach takes on the Hahnwiesenbach as the most important and longest tributary from the right and east . Then it leads the water, in contrast to the Mühlbach, which runs through many localities, far from any settlement through forest or forest edge areas in a westerly direction and finally flows into the Hegbachsee between Groß-Gerau and Nauheim .
