Course and catchment area

The brook of Wallenrod has its source in the northern part of the Vogelsberg low mountain range . Its source is about 2 km southwest of the village of Wallenrod , a district of Lauterbach , between southern Thorkuppe ( 476.6  m ) and northeastern Pfingstberg ( 402.3  m ) at around 405  m above sea level. NHN .

At first the brook of Wallenrod flows in a right curve around the Pfingstberg to and through Wallenrod; there it does not run above ground, but was channeled to prevent flooding. It then flows in the municipality of Schwalmtal approximately in a north direction parallel to the Vogelsbergbahn, which has been crossed several times, through Hergersdorf and Brauerschwend .

In Brauerschwend, the brook from Wallenrod bends roughly to the west, just below it, directly east of the state road  3162 ( Unter-Sorg - Renzendorf ) at 299  m above sea level, into the Eder tributary Schwalm, which flows roughly from the south .

The catchment area of the Wallenrod brook is 26.384 km².
